Slave Clutch removal instructions

[musseilm]

Does anyone have a write up on how to access/remove the slave clutch?
Need to replace the seals to allow it for Dot4 fluid.

Thanks

Why would you want to switch to DOT 4, unless you plan on change it out real often i think your wasting you time and money

Using rebuffini clutch and brake levers&reservoirs.

I am glad you asked. I recently made a mistake and topped mine off with DOT 4.

I suggest you flush the system and replace all the seals.

Last time I talked with LMC (where I bought mine) they did. Gl!

Thank you. Certainly, the absolute fix.

I'm guessing I added 10ML of Dot 4. Left it in for a week and maybe 100 miles. I then emptied and cleaned the master reservoir. Then refilled with mineral oil. I'll watch for leaks and poor clutch operation. The risk of a breakdown does not escape me.

You mention replacing the seals. On the parts fiche, I only see an $800 master and an $800 slave. where do you recommend, I obtain rubber seals?

Good question. Here is the deal. Mineral will swell up dot 4 seals to the point of being frozen. Dot4 will eventually deteriorate mineral seals. Dealer briefly added mineral to my dot 4 conversion on my r18; oops then flushed before it was ever ridden. Less than 100 miles later, no function, locked up.

(Side note off road in Mexico I had a leaky clutch with dot4 seals. Added mineral and the seals swelled up to get me home)

The problem is real. I suggest talking to your dealer. Replace the seals on both the reservoir and slave. It is not a problem you want down the road. Painful now I know.

So, the dealer can replace seals that are not shown in the parts fiche? Or will they want to replace the master and slave at $800 each?

You have now exceeded my pay grade. I know they exist. You need the set for the . Reservoir and slave. If it were me:

- I would contact a big sophisticated bmw dealer with a good parts person.

- contact LMC BIKES via email and ask if it is possible to buy a full set of clutch gaskets and/or seals for mineral oil. Last time I talked he had access to both.

- or change over to DOT and have LMC send you those seals. He did that for me after the dealer screw up.
