clutch slave

[docc]

*Groan*    . . . in a continued effort to put off crabbing my SpineFrame and get back on the road > prima de presto

 

Scud did some access comparison on the early, unbraced, RedFrame and it *may be* possible to swap the slave ("command cylinder") without removing the swingarm. I've long read that they can be a bugger to get off. I'll give that a try and see if the trouble resolves. If so, the M/C kit can go in the spares cabinet.

 

Pushing back against the funky blues, which is: having to be without my beloved RedFrame Sport

Josh spotted the very interesting similarity in the V11 "command cylinder" (01086330) and that of the Breva (perhaps the Norge, Griso, and 1200SPORT also?) : 05086330

 

Is the only difference the inclusion of the bleeder?

[andy york]

for some reason I thought I looked at that. Maybe I spoke with someone at MI. don't remember.

I have another one if you need it. Actually I have 2 ....Scud sent me a used one - and I think I ordered 2 when I got 

mine from harpers. it had obviously been sitting on the shelf for years

Thanks, man! 

 

I have an '06-'07 Breava unit coming off ebay. It would be great to compare them before I start jacking the Sport apart. Maybe compare piston dimensions.

Do you just have one bike? I assume with 1.4 billion miles on the V11 you must.

Haha , well I have a 1990 Honda GB500 I bought new. It's on the verge of turning over 50,000 miles.

 

Looks like it might make it this go 'round. Several have braced me for the barrage that may occur if I ride the GB to the South'n Spine Raid . . .

[docc]

I'm hoping this is one for the En-psycho-pedia of Parts.

 

It will be a great thing for this community to know that the later [CARC] clutch slave fits the V11 simply by swapping over the bleeder.

 

Should know in the next week or so . . .

[docc]

I'll have the Breva slave in hand in a few hours if anyone can compare some measurements.

[Scud]

My Greenie's is dangling now. Post your measurements and I can compare - possibly late this evening.

So, the Grimeca clutch slave cylinder arrived disassembled (better than coming full of hydraulic fluid!) and includes the three fasteners, which are in good condition. There are two O-rings inside the bore.

 

[docc]

First question: are both of the threaded inputs on the V11 slave the same size/ thread?

[Scud]

Well to answer that question, I'll have to get air in the system. But ok, I planned to flush out the fluid anyway. 

 

My questions:

Where's that spring go and what's it supposed to do? 

Why two banjo bolts? (why no bleeder?)

 

And the fasteners are different - which is probably good, because the original screws with allen heads are quite weak.

[andy york]

spring probably goes behind "puck".

I let ya know in the morn about thread size and bolt size 

ah hell 

be right back 

[andy york]

both holes on the top are the same - 10mm x 1.0

3 fasteners are on 50mm centers

piston is 30 mm
