I was thinking the same Ray but it should show some sort of loss somewhere oh the joys of buying a second hand thrashed bike i also had a leaking petrol tank too so while i was fixing that i put the modded air box in and the k&n filter fastened up the fuel lines as they were clamped up with zip ties took the beast out for a test run and picked up a screw in my front tyre got that plugged and away i went again just what i needed on a 36 degree day looks like a winter project for me is working its way up soon strip the bike and fix all the f****d up things that these god damn bush mechanics play with Cheers

Open the top of the clutch fluid reservoir - if the fluid is filthy black and a matt of the black shit coateth the bottom of the said reservoir -odds on it's our slave cylinder wall may be worn out by the chain lube in the clutch slave cylinder mate - my 2002 had to have the slave replaced - couldn't keep fluid up to it long enough. Another issue from your friendly Suzuki builder. I paid around $80.00 for a newby mate.
Hope you work it out.

Re: slave cylinder - BUSGO - 14-01-2007
Bill, If you got it for 10k and only need to spend 1k fixing the faults, your laughing mate....
I paid 12.5k for mine with 48k on the clock
Somehow I don't think you'll stop at 1k, will you?

Bill that bike was a steel, you got a great deal on it.
Griffo's got a lot of stuff on his plate and I don't think that
bike was right on top of his list of things to do. If it is a bucket
of POOH sell it for the 10G that you paid for it and buy a
spanker. No more problems Regards Richard

Just looks like you don't think that the bike was what you
were looking for. Looking at what's above.
We all have a go at doing our own stuff up this way.
Take the part to a clutch and brake mob get it resleaved and
hey presto all done, clutch will work just fine.. Regards Richard

Re: Mystery/SOLVED - Xhiler8r - 10-02-2007
I finally went and bought the new seal from Springwood Suzuki even thou the old seal looked great and all i just replaced it as it was only $8.50 and about 1/2 hour to complete the job it looks like its working ok the fluid is staying put but there is still something wrong somewhere sometimes it still feels like its slipping and grabbing on take off it has only done it to me twice since i fixed it , oh well at least it is another item crossed off the list of things to be fixed only 1 more item to be replaced and she is a complete bike again I think Griffo wot recognise her on the 17th Cheers

Re: Mystery/SOLVED - Gnarbunkle - 10-02-2007
Not a bad idea to find a plastic bottle cap that fits over the slave cylinder end and drill a hole in the middle to pass the pushrod through. Keeps the crap out and the seal should last longer. Later model busas have a rubber crap shield but the slave is 3mm smaller in diameter so it doesn't fit very well, i've tried. <i></i>
Re: Mystery/SOLVED - CAS3234 - 12-02-2007
Bill, if the clutch now feels like it is grabing and slipping it could be that you are used to the 2002 onwards clutch.
Mine felt the same for ages I replaced it with the 2002 spring and thin fibre plate, now it is silky smooth.
The dealer will hit you up for about $120 for it, but you might get one from a wrecker for half that. <i></i>
Re: Mystery/SOLVED - Xhiler8r - 12-02-2007
Thanks Dave that sounds like another option for me. It might be worth my while just to replace the clutch plates all together, as i havent opened them yet to see what they are like anyway.I might just throw a set of late models in there as long as they fit ok and Suzuki hasnt changed anything between the years.

Re: Mystery/SOLVED - BEAR - 12-02-2007
Get rid of the BTL assembly either by welding or buying the kit. Not expensive and makes all the difference to the clutch action. Smooth as. Interested too as I've put in the later model dust seal and noted it didn't really slip in all that tight, now I find the diameters are 3mm smaller on later models? Is the clutch master cylinder also smaller?
If not the throw must be greater on the later models as well?
Slightly higher hand effort but take up over a longer lever travel? <i></i>
