My clutch slave cylinder started to leak :facepalm: Today I ordered repair kit to repair it. My question is: does the rubber part in the middle of the picture bellow goes on the engine side or on the cylinder side? Read a topic of clutch slave cylinder seal upgrade and saw it goes between cylinder and thin metal plate (gsx 1400 doesn't have that seal). The rubber seal on the engine side of push rod is not leaking yet and I just wonder what in case it does? Reading manual did not gave me answer how to replace it in case it leaks or am I missing something?
As far as I know the seal for the pushrod in the engine is an O-ring which can only be replaced if you split the engine cases.

Does it mean this one is described in "clutch seal upgrade" topic?
the standard kit doesn't have the seal in your kit the engine seal is much smaller so i think you might have the extra seal for the hyabusa kit.
if it fits there use it as the upgrade or at least try it and see what you think.

Webshop I oredered from says this kit fits several years of hayabusa, bandit 1200 and gsxr1100 models. I am glad I will upgrade my slave cylinder :grin:
Its easy to fit once you have removed the engine sprocket cover.
I did mine and obviously give it a good clean out of the old chain grease that will be plastered in there..
Its pretty obvious how it fits into the slave cylinder recess once you have it exposed..
