Just when you think the work is done, you often find something that subtly bothers you. The clutch suddenly became spongy.
It’s probably never been disassembled before, so I’ll overhaul the clutch release. After all, when you overhaul the hydraulic systems for brakes and clutch, the feel improves dramatically and it feels great.
The fluid color is already looking a bit suspicious.
Over time, the fluid has absorbed moisture and changed color. The clutch has become completely spongy, so I’ll drain all the fluid first.
I was wondering if the master might also be problematic.
A release that can be easily removed from the outside is the best.
It was in quite a sharp condition. I worked while hoping the corrosion wouldn’t be too deep.
Having proper equipment and tools really makes things very efficient.
Being able to clean it up this nicely on our own quickly really speeds up the work. Wet blasting is a truly efficient tool. However, removing the media is quite critical, so it takes some practice.
The release piston was in good condition, so I’ll reuse it. This time I only needed to replace the cup.
The new cup has sharp edges and the feel should be much better.
I checked the Kawasaki release piston diameter just in case. The ball attached to the center of the release is a somewhat appealing item.
After that, it’s just waiting for the battery and we’re 99% done.
