Would just like to share that I've won a factory racing (motopike) clutch slave on ebay, brand new from the folks at motopike for the princely sum of £47 + £5 p&p...

So, anybody looking for one, keep an eye on ebay for them. Seem to start at £45, no reserve...

There were other colours that went for £45 & £46...

Great deal Cathcart they usually start at that price and then every time I plan to get one they shoot up in he last few minutes lol, you've beaten me to it again though, first the steering damper and now a shiny clutch slave, ha ha

What else are you looking for? Just so I can try to make it 3 in a row...
I was watching about 4 just in different colours and they all went for much cheapness... Guess i was lucky.

Theres a shocky on ebay the now... Think bidding is around the £27 just now. Im not bidding for it.

Lol I'm not saying what else I'm looking for, you'll get that too, it would be spooky though if you announce later you've got the very thing I'm looking for ha ha. Only joking, the wife's not impressed with all my spending latley, saying that I've got a nice little pointless bit of something comming for the falco, I'll post a pic up and see if anyone can spot it

A good price but not quite as cheap as the MPL slave I bought (£40) ..... though that did take about a year of patient ebay stalking before I got it at that price

Theres only a 2 or 3 mod type bits I'm looking for now, everything else is available far and wide. Although, if I find out what your looking for.... Hahaha

I was just pleases to get it for around half the price I was going to pay for the Oberon. Think someone on here was testing the same one, as to why I went for it. Seals are also readily available...

Just getting all the bits together then fit them all at once.

i was involved in the initial testing of the pre production model

I rated it as being on a par with my MPL

the finish was good and lasted very well

Think it was your post I read... Im just hoping the clutch is lighter with it.

Great news for those that like to go clubbing

first thing is to read the guide to bleeding our hydraulics in the technical section..... - that makes life a lot easier

second thing is to fit the other bleed point - do a search here and you will find volumes of lectures from badgerpubes telling me about it - and the bugger was right!

finally - yes, it makes a hell of a difference

I would also suggest that the cheap pazzo copy levers are a good investment - BUT do read up here about what is needed to be done for them..... the little screw is a bastard!

Changing levers is one of the first things I do, really hate standard ones. How come the Falco is so hard to bleed compared to other bikes? Thinking I'll fit a bleed nipple banjo bolt on clutch slave end. Ill have a search later for the falco bleeding tips.

Whats the screw thing for the levers your on about? Ive already fitted mine and cant remember having any trouble?

No you need to fit the additional bleed nipple at the master cylinder end. The one on the slave should be enough down at that point.

..... of course you can always fit a set of radial master cylinders - the Aprilia ones have bleed nipples built in.

Hahaha, i was asking myself why you are repeating what i just said...the i realised i said slave. My bad, apologies. Feel like a total fool...

Ill just keep my standard master, it seems to work fine and i'm tight fisted.

Alad will be along in a moment.

the screw is the tiny grub screw under the old lever... its about a 2 allen key iirc - mine had been loctited in place....

the falco is a pain to bleed because of the bleed nipples not being at the highest point of a chamber - KZ Mille's guide explains how to do it very easily

and I may be a fool, but at least I have a hat.....
