badger Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Ahoy! So..... I have an extensive collection of slave cylinders. They all fucking leak, changed seals etc. The pistons are in a pretty crappy state. Is there any other bikes you can steal them off? Quote
wraith Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 I believe gsxr1100 slingshot b12 and gsxr1300 use the same slave. maybe gsx1400 as well? 1 Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 This is why i change to cable clutch on oil cooled engines, not only better feel from a cable, but much cheaper and simpler to fix, and less likely to go worng. 3 Quote
clivegto Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 Last one I did I just got a new seal, put the piston on the spinny wire wheel then slightly honed the slave bore. Works like new now. Quote

I've thought about it in the past but I like the hydraulic clutch. 2 hours ago, clivegto said: Last one I did I just got a new seal, put the piston on the spinny wire wheel then slightly honed the slave bore. Works like new now. Thats what happened to the last one but there was pitting on the piston under the seal. Lasted a few months but leaked again while stood up over winter. Found a nearly new one on Eblag from Lithuania. Will turn up one day. I've had another one powder coated so will Rob the piston out of the new one. Hoping that sorts it! 2 Quote

Could a stainless piston be made in the same manner as replica brake caliper pistons? Quote

wobblegob Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 its usually the casting that goes fucked as well........you can buy new ones over here guys, think they are around 80 quid Quote
wraith Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 I've heard that the hayabusa has a dust seal (similar to the seal the push rod goes through in the engine side) that fits gsxr/bandit slave and stop all the crud getting to the position? Quote
badger Posted June 3, 2021 Author Posted June 3, 2021 A mate has offered to make me a stainless one. He's very handy on a lathe. I will take him up on it but it'll be ages until it happens. That dust seal would be handy! Quote

Did try joining to find out more but still waiting for the admin to do there bit 3 mouths later so won't be joining that forum then 1 Quote
Joseph Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 The seal is on the piston i believe ? So if it's the alloy body that is pitted... Quote
