Clutch master cylinder nightmare

[Gsxjohn]

Well I know what I'll be doing this weekend. It was only meant to be a winter project and the old girl was running like a dream when I took it off the road

Just make sure when you take the clutch plates out that you don't mix the order up or get them back to front as you free them off.

Many thanks Barmy, am I right in thinking you don't have to drop the oil to remove clutch?

I recently did mine on my bandit and my ZRX1100 and this worked for me - I had an old clean sweetie tub that I filled with slightly heated clean oil  (didn't tell wife what pot I used) I placed each plate into the oil in teh order I took them off - as in last in the oil was 1st back on

I reckon you do have to drop the oil to do this or you may be able to put the bike on a plank of wood so that it leans over more that way you will only loose a little oil

good luck

Stripped the clutch today, verniered everything, all in spec. Nothing seemed stuck as such, just sticktion due to oil on plates...must have been enough to stop clutch disengaging.
Reassembled plates, everything kept in order as advised  by Barmy👍...clutch out all plates were loose...no pressure on them🥺 cuppa then stripped again and reassembled again 🤯 clutch works. No idea what the issue was.
Big thanks for all advice👍👍

Result - sometimes just the oil itself can "stick" by a vacuum forming, which is easily broken when you take the plates out. Good news that its all working again though

Good news. Just was bad timing, new hose and stuck plates. My old GS1000 used to get stuck after 3 or 4 weeks sitting. Persevered Mate, well done.

Great news well done in persevering with it all .
So glad you finally got sorted.
