Hmmmm wheeled her out today and thought clutch fluid looks low had good look around and is it coming from slave cyl , will have to keep an eye on this as couldn’t see any leaks  ( up graded slave couple of years ago) have topped up fluid “ one doesn’t get a lot in there”

May as well replace as it’s leaking. Not great blowing back over your foot and paintwork. 

Seals alone not too bad and even a new cylinder isn’t horrendous. Could take it off clean it up see if you can see the leak or damage to decide if it’s repair or replace time

Yup,clutch slave seals are a quickly consumed consumable Wink

Quick and cheap to replace though,especially as it's a good idea to do a fluid change every year anyway

Makes you nostalgic for the old days and cable clutches,just strap a new cable alongside the one in use and sorted immediately should it break

Hydraulic clutches are a pita on bikes

Looking forward to the next track day

Replaced with another Oberon hope it lasts longer than 2yrs this time , not had time to strip out the old one yet . Watched Griffs bleed video on Oberon replacement, worked a treat, would def recommend viewing works well.
