Holding in clutch, starts creeping forward

rebuilding the master is out.

If I am scrounging for a new m/c on ebay, will any piston size work?

The larger the piston size the better it will work with an aftermarket slave. If you have an aftermarket slave of course.

I wouldn't go any smaller than what you already have.

thanks, that's what I figured but I wanted to verify.  as much as people want for a used one, I might be better off buying new from yoyodyne.

That's what I'd do.

You are on the road though, so you have some time to wait for a deal...correct?

technically my bike works, but I have a leaking fork seal I've been ignoring since end of May and it's about time I actually fix it.  I wanted to do the k-tech upgrade in the process but it's prohibitively expensive for me.

hm would a radial master off a hypermotard work?

Why not?

got my new master cylinder

[ducpainter]

Should do the trick.

whoever figured out to put a bleeder nipple on the master should receive the nobel prize.

hypermotard master and new slave cylinder installed.  seemed to work around riding around my cul de sac.

I need to put new connectors on the clutch switch thing, but mine's been disconnected for two years so no harm there.


Otherwise, looks like I'm on the road to recovery.  thanks everyone for your help.  My Visa card is pissed, but my soul is happy.

shakedown run this morning seemed successful.

You can fix the Visa...

On the road again....

Now you need the matching radial brake master.

let's cross that bridge when we get to it


I'd rather get an oil cooler before I do that one.

after riding for a week now, one thing I've noticed.. I formerly had some lag when cracking the gas at highway speed.  Tach would spin up, but the speedo wouldn't take a while to get there.  Replacing the master seems to have resolved that issue.
