FJ Clutch Slave Cylinder Fix



My Yamaha FJ1200 has a hydraulic clutch. This is a mixed blessing. The clutch is light & smooth but also the seals in the slave cylinder are prone to leak. Over the last few months I've had to top up the fluid a couple of times so it's time to replace the seal. This is a straightforward job. 

The slave cylinder is above the oil filter casing. Note loss of paint due to fluid leaking.

Since an oil change was due I repainted the filter casing
