So since I know all the parts in my clutch slave cylinder have been refreshed, That leaves only a couple other issues that could be causing my lack of clutch action. A fluid leak was ruled out since it’s a very simple one line system and everything was dry. The other two would be a bunch of air in the system, or a bad master cylinder. The least expensive option was air in the system so lets try that first. The system on the Concours is notoriously hard to bleed properly so I figured I would start at th
In the pic below you see the slave cylinder bleeder. Since I had used the traditional method of bleeding the cylinder before and still have issues I figured I would attach a line here and push fluid back up through the lines to the master. Air naturally wants to rise so I’d be working with it instead of against it.
I was able to push quite a bit of air out of the master cylinder fluid reservoir and felt I had the system completely bled. However, This did nothing to solve my issue. So I ordered a replacement piston and the associated parts for the master cylinder. After all, those seals have been subjected to the same fluid as the failed seal in the slave cylinder. Now we wait for parts.
