The Obon holidays have finally started!
How is everyone spending their time off? (That’s a pun!)
This year has felt strange the whole way through, and before you know it, it’s August with scorching heat and blazing sunshine!
When you step out of the air-conditioned shop… “Whoa!!! It’s hot!”
I’d prefer to take test rides only in the morning or evening. The GoPro roaming seems like it’ll take a little break too.
The stock clutch hose is leaking something—fluid? sweat? (the feeling is similar).
Can that really happen?
Even after removing the covering, I was like “Hmm?” Well, it’s old anyway, so let’s go with an SUS mesh hose—that’s the call, and we’re moving right along.
I checked it out anyway, so here’s the diagram.
The bike is left on the side stand, and the next day… there’s fluid dripping.
Looks like the cup failed again. With Suzuki, we don’t usually see leaks this frequent.
I wonder why.
We polished it when we disassembled it last time, so it’s nice and clean. There’s no severe scoring visible either.
Next time, we might replace it or switch to a K-FACTORY clutch release.
K-FACTORY uses an O-ring, so it might be more resistant to leaks.
We applied CCI MR20 metal rubber generously and assembled it.
Even the standard clutch master is plenty light and responsive. We protected the stopper and got it done.
And that’s how we wrapped it up.
Hopefully this won’t leak anymore…
