While you're overhauling the clutch master and slave cylinders,you may want to put a clutch slave cylinder dust grommet in.The early Gen 1 busas suffered from dirty or black clutch master cylinder fluid.This problem was caused by the drive chain lubricant entering through the clutch slave cylinder,contaminating the clutch fluid causing it to turn black in colour. Suzuki rectified this problem with a dust cover that fits over the clutch slave cylinder and piston with a small hole in the center for the clutch push rod. From memory the dust grommet is from the 2005 model inclusive onwards.The dust grommets are relatively inexpensive and a worthwhile investment to your clutch master and slave cylinder system.
