Title: S2R1000 owners READ THIS Post by: ROBOFLOX 77 on June 30, 2015, 09:54:26 AM If you you own an S2R1000 and your clutch master cylinder starts to leak, you'll soon find out that the cylinder is an odd size IE small and a service Kit is not available, and all the bike shops you try and Mr Brembo will tell you it was designed as a throw away item, so it appears your only option is to fork out a large amount of cash and replace it.
I flatly refused to do this ! A chance meeting with a customer of mine guided me to the following company : Pacific Seals Petone Wellington New Zealand (I live in NZ) They manufacture seals and when I told them I'd been told my cylinder was a throw away item they laughed! I sent them the cylinder and they manufactured 2 X new seals for $25 each, including the postage my bike was back on the road for $60! RESULT OR WHAT! ;D They are great to deal with and as my bike has numerous cylinders 5 I think, I'll be calling them again when needed, the fridge magnet firmly in place! My next post will outline how to ditch the over priced feeble clutch ducati make and replace with a decent one! Half the price that lasts twice as long! Feedback on the above welcomed! 8) Title: Re: S2R1000 owners READ THIS Post by: koko64 on June 30, 2015, 03:03:19 PM Interesting [popcorn]

Sounds like a good score to me Title: Re: S2R1000 owners READ THIS Post by: koko64 on June 30, 2015, 09:45:09 PM Howie, their dollar is even worse than ours. Good a local company is that versatile on low run products.
