Demonstrates why it it so important to do regular flushing of all three hydraulic systems (front & rear brake & clutch). So often I find these with brake fluid that resembles mud. My 1999 Valkyrie I/S currently has 145K miles and I've never had to touch the clutch slave cyl. Nice demonstration.

The level of care about doing it right it what draws me your channel. Because what we have out here today as "techs" scares me. Thank you

I dig this channel almost as much as I dig my Valkyrie.

The season is almost starting and i put this rebuild on my list, already ordered the parts 🫡

Quick to th point thanks for not talking for 20 min then showing us

OH. . . . YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!+! SO MANY are 20+ minutes for 30 seconds of actual info.

The slave on my Nighthawk looked just like that. Felt good to get it working again. Great content as always my friend...

Brilliant thanks! I pickup all sorts of tricks and tips from your video's. I appreciate it mate...

I'm so glad I found this video, all the slave cylinder rebuilds I could find for a goldwing were like they were recently leaking. My slave cylinder is just as bound up and I've tried everything except heating it up. I haven't done it yet but I'm hoping that'll free up the piston so I can rebuild the thing here soon

I was just hangin out checkin it out . My carbs you rebuilt this summer Rock man 78cb 750 . Went for a short ride today . It was 53 degrees . I enjoy your videos because you as OCD as I am about working on mechanical things . It's almost ASMR to me lol . Can't wait for some warm weather . My pits need some air !

Very well done

Good info, on resolving a common problem.

Good job, nice video from A to Z

Great video. Really helped.

That was a great "quick and dirty" (no pun intended ... lol) example of cleaning out the clutch slave cylinder and rebuilding it! Thanks for sharing and does your announcement at the end mean that the Broken Moto Show is FINALLY starting back up again?!!! Either way I'm excited to hear about it!

You as well Murray!

That's fantastic!

Thanks a lot

Thanks for this video! I'm having to work on the ground just on the center stand on my 93 gl1500 Interstate. Being able to look at how you cleaned the case while it is still mounted in the bike is a big help to me as I'm having to do it basically by feel under there. Thankfully I don't think I am going to have to use the hot wrench to get the piston out as mine was just working last week. (fluid exited the system on a long, hot ride)

Funny, I just did this on my '94 GL1500 last week. It was no where near as bad as this one, since I do daily ride it. I just went ahead and replaced all the internal parts (both seals, piston, and spring). The piston was still usable, as was the spring, but since since it was apart, and was only $40 for all the parts, I just did them all so I don't have to worry about it. One thing you don't show is getting that bolt out of the bleeder extension, so make sure you take that out as well. On the Goldwing, no need to remove the kickstand, so that is one less thing to worry about. I also had to do the clutch master since I found it was leaking a little as well.

Great video!!

I have been using a Dremel type tool with a small scotch Brite tip then a q-tip for the final cleaning on small parts.

I found the clutch and slave cylinder so easy to service on my 1500s. that I did it every year.

As I watched the video, it appeared the part number for the cup seal is #22865-MG9-003. You listed Factory Honda Parts Used: Cup Seal : 22865-MJ8-003. Am I mistaken? I assume there's a difference between the two. I just want to get the correct part.

Question: I just got an 84 Goldwing GL1200 Interstate and when I park it overnight I discovered maybe a 1/2 teaspoon, maybe less of oil puddle that leaked through the water pump weep hole. I ordered a seal kit and a new water pump as well as some timing belts. While I'm waiting for them to show up can I still ride it?

Sure! Just keep fluids topped off.

Buen video amigo, dónde puedo encontrar un taller en Miami para mí Goldwing LTE 1200cc 1985??

My Honda ST1100 has a paper gasket around that clutch slave. Do they not put them on the GL1500? Seems like it would allow water intrusion without some sort of seal.

I can't seem to find where to get the seals from the catalog on partzilla.

Those are glued in there without the heat. Just cleaned one on a 76 Gl1k.

Get yourself a "bearing scraper". Three sided sharp scraper. Would make short work of this job. You will use it often

I need to do this next on my 88 107k GL1500, the clutch is slipping a bit under heavy throttle, would u be interested in doing a clutch pack on my bike??

If you had evidence of leaking prior to doing the clutch slave cylinder rebuild would you replace anything besides the banjo washers? I had evidence on the top side and bottom side and lots of curd inside. Excellent video. The long pin that is pushed by the piston had some nastiness towards the top. Is it ok to sand smooth? Is that pin chrome plated? Could be a little hard on the seal. Any reason why the pin can't be flipped around with the nasty end going in first? What was the torque settings for the banjo bolts?

that pin (actuating rod) operates the clutch. if you reduce the length at all you will get clutch problems. therefore i wouldnt advise sanding it

I have 2014 honda valkyrie can't find the bleeder for the clutch. Parts man at honda ask me to flush the clutch.

My clutch moves freely very little resistance bike is a 83 nighthawk 13500 miles iv bled the line all clear of air opened case it was dry not sure. bccwhat to do if I put it in gear it stalls I gotta roll in neutral and hang on any help please

Major question, can I use DOT 4 brake fluid for the hydraulic clutch?

@jasonjason7277

Жыл бұрын

what fluid to use should be printed on the reservoir cap. most likely dot 4.

Just curious. In the maintenance schedule I don't see the seals and/or spring listed as replaceable items for mileage/year of use. What would be a reasonable time/mileage to bear in mind to inspect and/or replace said items? Thank you .

It’s not really considered a maintenance item it’s more of a repair procedure for a neglected system. If I were you I would flush the brake and clutch fluid every year. You may never need to go into that system for years and years.

@@TheMotorcycleMD Thank you Cody. Be safe. Just to add further to this. I have a 2004 GL1800 (46000 Kilometres) that was given to me by a very sick friend. He had been sick for years and was unable to ride so the bike has laid dormant since 2013. I have owned several bikes throughout the years. I have cleared all the fluids from the bike and replaced with new. Same with spark plugs, filter and fork oil and seals...so this is why I asked about the clutch slave. Where it has been lying up all these years I figure it would probably be prudent to change out the seals as well. The oil seal that goes into the block for the lifter rod seems good....or would you suggest since I'm in there to replace the oil seal? Thanks again.

𝙎𝙐𝙂𝙂𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉(𝙨): This is what I use and do in circular recesses like this video. It's a bit quicker, easier & definitely cleaner. Scotch Bright, I use white (comes in other grits) wrapped around a deep socket and twist. IF I have to pick at hard garbage on aluminum, it's the hardest plastic I have on hand since it's softer than Alum..
