Thank you for the kind words, my friend. Your channel has helped me in immeasurable ways.

Screw sizes: everything is M6 including the two #3 Phillips bolts inside. Those are M6x10mm long, I was able to replace them with M6x12 no problem. M6 screws use the 5mm allen key. The two screws that hold the cylinder to the case are M6x25mm long. The other screws are: M6x55 (top of case), M6x40, M6x45 (left & right side of shifter), M6x75 X3 (left side of slave cylinder, underneath slave cylinder, and right side of case). (The two bolts at top & right side of case I'm not sure of because my sprocket cover got destructed due to the chain breaking on the road & bashing out the top of the cover, so I'm actually missing those two bolts.)

amazing video, im rebuilding an 98 1200 and I wasn't sure how to deal with the clutch release, I thought I had parts missing now I know everything is there.

I glad you found it helpful. Good luck with the project!

Thanks for the video. I found out there is two diameters of the seal. 37mm and 40mm. They look quite similar. I bought 40mm for GSF1200 Bandit 01-05 and it doesn't fit to MK1 1200 from 1996. I couldn't figure how you managed to fit it so easily and I couldn't. I guess a thing to be aware of when looking for seal replacement.

That's really good to know... Thanks!

Hi, great video, I had the same problem even after replacement of the rubber seal, the problem was that i installed the rubber with the slot outside, the same as in your picture, the slot has to be in the inner spring side. best regard from Hamburg

I was wondering about that too, if you put the seal in like in the picture, the fluid can go past it and it will leak again. The open side of the seal should be facing the bottom of the bore, right?

Such a great and informative video 2 things where can I get a manual like that for my 2007 1200s bandit and where did you buy the mityvac from please

Peter, thanks for the kind words. The manual is a Clymer covering the Bandit 1200 from 1996 to 2003, and very well written in my opinion. It came with the bike so I don't know the source; I would suggest checking with your local motorcycle shops and online. I think I got the Mityvac at my local UAP/NAPA auto parts store, but I see amazon has it as well.

what manual are you using as it looks very good ,

I have a digital version of the factory manual and a Clymer, which is where the images are from. I've had lots of Haynes manuals before and I find the Clymer to be a step up.

I am really struggling getting the clutch back up on mine. The master cylinder has pressure and new seals. The slave doesn't seem to have any effect on the clutch at all, the piston doesn't come back in, but keeps accepting pressure until the piston seal just gives. Can't see whether it's exerting any pressure on the push rod. Doesn't seem to be. &#$@ these crappy little hydraulic clutches, they suck

Hey Matt, sorry to hear you're having trouble. Is there any chance that you have the slave cylinder piston seal installed backwards?

Hey thanks for your time, It's a second hand slave so it may just be worn? I will sure check that, It's been doing my head in a while now, lol I hear the liner on the hose can sometimes obstruct, but it seems clear. I put new seals in the master cylinder that's good as. The metal retainer on the piston is a bit rooted. But it should be stopped, by the clutch pushrod and it's not going back into the cylinder when the clutch is released, instead it keeps on coming until it pops. I have had the clutch housing in bits, but I've checked it three times it's in the right order Ah well keep plugging away try a slave cylinder rebuild I guess

will this fit in to bandit 600 mk1?
