> how often do you expect to do this job? When it comes to my motorcycles, I don't cut corners like I do with my car.
I took apart the clutch master to install a new kit in it just as preventive maintenance. It was working fine, but I'd always heard how difficult it was to bleed the line, so I went ahead and took it apart. When I opened the kit I'd bought on Ebay, it was a different piston. I have to send it back and order a new one, so I had the choice of leaving it out of service or putting it back together. I wanted to try my hand at filling and bleeding the line. One week before, I had spent $3 apiece on OEM copper crush washers for the forks, although I had a whole box of HF copper washers in stock, so you see I've been known to not cut corners as well. But this made me wonder why the fork washers were copper while the clutch washers were not. So, just for practice, I put the old piston back in the clutch master and then filled and bled the line. It's fine, but it left a question in my mind whether I should drive 30 minutes each way for $3 aluminum ones when the new master cylinder replacement comes or just pull two more copper ones out of the box. That's when I sat down and typed out the question. BTW, I have aluminum washers for the slave. I just forgot to order ones for the master when I decided to also do it as an afterthought. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
