air in clutch (again)

Recommended Posts

Since I've put a bikini sprocket cover on I keep getting air in the clutch, I've replaced the clutch lever seals as they were worn.
Ian (madcarper) and I were out last night and he mentioned the push rod from the slave cylinder might be to short would this cause a problem?

My push rod is a little corroded and I Know they can be replaced with stainless but I don't recall seeing any problem with yours when the chain/sprockets were replaced Mark. If there's air getting in then there's a leak and fluid must be getting out. Have you tried doing a fluid change and a thorough bleed? especially check the Banjo fittings around the cluch master cylinder and slave cylinder and that the bleed nipple is tight and isn't weeping. I can't see fitting the bikini sprocket cover would have any bearing on air in the hydraulic system, hope someone has a bit better advice for you mate you and it gets sorted......... anyway more importantly whens your swinging arm coming out for bracing and polishing bounce

i had to put a new seal in my RF slave cylinder , when i took the cover of the bike i could see bubbles coming out of the slave unit , so i would think it could well be it ,
