Came home from work this evening, cut the lawns, sorted the food out, ate outside with my darling wife, commented that it would be a lovely time for a ride out to which came the reply "I'm not in the mood, why don't you go out on the Super Duke" (as a couple we go out on the 1050 Sprint), I don't need telling twice

Slave cylinder shot. pull it off and you see the oil leaking out.
Don't bother fixing it as they are shit. Get an Oberon or so and fix it for ever.
And it's not brake fluid!

Comrade: A small tip... Make sure that when you reassemble everything that you make sure the banjo is nipped up. It is easy to slightly loosen it as you undo the bleed screw. It can be loose enough to just lose a little fluid over time.

Well the parts turned up at 13.45, I'm working from home so I finished up the emails etc that were urgent and went in the garage at 14.30, got the tools, bleed pipe, fluid etc together and cracked on with it. 35 minutes later I've got a clutch again Tidied up (one thing is bothering me though, I can't find one of the old copper washers, must have rolled quite a distance when it fell off, there's definitely only two on the banjo now), cleaned all the tools, put everything back in it's place, washed up and took a picture of the good work so happy days. Back at work (*cough*)now so I thought I'd post the picture, looking forward to getting out again later. Thanks for all the advice, pointers etc.

I had an 08 Buell 1125r and the clutch slave cylinder would weep too. Replaced it with the EBR one and it was fixed. One could use an Oberon one as well. They seemed to have fixed it on the 09 bikes. Weird how this happens but I guess that's part of it.

It doesn't take much at all but you really want to flush it through properly so unless you're particularly anal about what you put in I'd go for You will have plenty then even if you bugger it up, at £12.99 for a litre you can't go wrong, it might not be in the same packaging as the one on the website, the one I have isn't, just plain black with green writing on the label.
