Clutch Slave Cylinder Seals

#1 Post by Taper One » Sun May 01, 2011 1:05 pm

Hi Folks,

not posted for a while but my Falco (Alkydales's old one) is still with me despite being made redudndant and unemployed for a year. Not done many miles, just Le Mans and Spa plus a bit of local running around, but then it is my luxury bike, not every day one. Anyway Spa is up and coming again and my Clutch slave is leaking. I am considering an Oberon but would also like to rebuild the original. I have done a search for the supplier of the alternative seals, but the only link I can find is gonig to a "cant find page" error. Did try the archives but they are too old. So, could someone point me in the right direction please. Also is Griff at Aprilia Performance the right person to talk to about Oberon and other service items?

Many thanks

Pete

Hope you have a good trip and hope things pick up for you soon. :smt001

Thanks for the quick reply D-R. And yes, things have picked up beyond all expectations thanks.
Landed a plum job with Sky TV doing the graphics computers for the Sports outside broadcasts. Lots of travelling but great fun. Off to Barcelona tomorrow :smt003 .
With regards to Spa, this is for the classic bike racing. It really is a great weekend with a fantastic bit of road on the way (N66)

Cheers

Pete

OK, sorry D-R but the link says "topic does not exist" for the clutch seals. I think this is the same link I tried after a search.

Any ideas?

That's odd - the link works for me .... but here's the info:

I assume the numbers in bold are the outside diameter, inside diameter and depth respectively. EPDM is the material (necessary for clutch fluid).
The company which supplied them is Fluidpower at the address below.
P.S. The new seal has been fitted and works fine. It cost £2.10

Not the bargain it was .... but now we have the part code, we can try other suppliers.
