Slave cylinder replacement
#11
Anyone considering NOT having their 'slave cylinder' recall done until they start
having trouble or losing fluid?
After 10,000 miles, I don't have a 'low' fluid level in the reservoir.
I managed to get a new clutch actuator before the recall started.
May ride mine until I need it................

I have. Especially after reading the chronological timeline of events, and looking at the minimal number of occurrences. Now, easy to say what if I’m one of those people who have the issue, and I’ve thought about that too, don’t get me wrong. I checked my level and it was good. Why not use the current one until it goes? I dunno, still on the fence...

I suppose that it depends on the wording of the Recall Notice, especially if this is a Safety Issue.
I just had my first failure to start while in gear, and a couple of near stalling/stumbling low speed incidences, so, in my opinion, the bad clutch lever and clutch switch pack is just as much a safety issue as a Leaking Slave Cylinder.
I will wait until the official Slave Cylinder Recall notice is delivered, which may take longer to be issued in Canada (My bike is in hibernation now anyway until Spring).
Then I will make sure that my dealer has the Slave Cylinder parts as well as the NEW Clutch Lever and Switch Pack parts in stock, and get everything done at once under Recall & Warranty.

My bike is going into the dealership in a couple of weeks to get a paint issue on the rear fender corrected. They said they will need it for a couple of months. I am going to specifically tell them to NOT do the recall while it's there. I plan to install an AIM slave cylinder down the road. For now, it works fine and I have no worries about it.

I had mine replaced with no success on fixing these issues. I decided it was not likely the electronics so I started poking around. What I found was that the end of the ramp on the clutch lever that actuates the switch in the switch pack had some flashing left on it. I removed the clutch lever and filed down this flashing. I haven't had any issues since.
I think the stalling is caused by the ECM having a different idle setting if the clutch is not disengaged. Mine would idle erratically from about 400 to 1000 RPM and occasionally stall. Most often, I noticed this in stopped in traffic, moving short distances and coasting with the clutch in.

No official notice here yet. I'll have it done as soon as I can get it in. I checked mine the other day, fluid is where it should be. I'm in no big hurry but it needs to get done. My clutch is butter smooth. If it failed then that could definitely cause a crack up.
I've got a tiny amount of transfer from trans to primary happening. I'll talk to them about that at the same time, maybe get both things done.
