I like how you got right to the point, the prob was the slave cylinder, the rough surface was letting air get into the system.. Thank you for taking the time to let me know,,,,,,,I appreciate you brother, the time you took to do this was not wasted,,,,,,again, thank you
Hey thanks for the video. I have an RSTD so this might help with my clutch. Just watched another vid where he suggested that zip ties on the bake are fine but ties on the clutch are hard on the clutch plates. Thanks for your work on these issues.
2:16 see the rubber sealing . Most probably you have to change it . One more thing , zip tie the clutch and leave it overnight and you will see where is the leak , good luck 👍
Thank you for this video. I have the 2002 midnight avenger 1300 cc and in high gears when I get on it it slips so you think so do you think this is an issue?
probably a dumb question but could you point at the info to putting the gear oil back in since it comes out when removing the cover. or is that the same as the engine oil level
Oh my goodness. with that master cylinder cover you made, you won’t be able to see when you have pushed all the brake fluid out of the master cylinder The reason your cylinder on your slave cylinder got pitted, lack of changing the brake fluid regularly. You should change your brake fluid and clutch fluid at least once every two years because brake fluid absorbs water right out of the air through the breather in the master cylinder ca. that cover That you had to buy a gasket for to remove it to get to the slave cylinder. Don’t use silicone. Get a can of aluminum paint. Not a spray can, a canned that you have to pry the lid off of and stir. Coat all your paper gaskets with the glue from the bottom of a can of aluminum paint, and install the gaskets wet on both sides with that aluminum paint. The gaskets will never stick to either surface, you will never have to buy another paper gasket. I’ve been doing that since the 1970s bulletin from Honda when I was a Honda mechanic that told us to do that in the service department The best way I know to change the fluid and bleed the air out of a clutch or brake system is. With a vacuum pump bleeder. You attach a hose to the brake caliper nipple or the slave cylinder bleeder nipple, pump up the bleeder that’s about the size of a staple gun, open the bleeder, and it sucks out the old fluid in the air. some oils for cars have oils that have “friction modifiers “in the oil. They can cause your clutch to slip in your motorcycle. You should never be using car oil in your motorcycle if your motorcycle uses the same oil in the transmission and the engine. Don’t put additives in your oil. Motorcycle oil is different from car oil. motorcycle oil has increased ingredients amounts of zinc and phosphorus to give the oil a higher film strength to survive in the transmission. The transmission is the most severe environment you can expect oil to operate in. Some high powered motorcycles exceed 100,000 pounds per square inch of force on the transmission gears under full power. That is a tough job for oil to survive in that environment. do you know your oil is worn out as soon as you feel a difference in the shifting, as soon as you feel that it is different trying to find neutral, if it changes, that’s a sign that your oil is breaking down. That can happen in as little as 1500 miles.. I have had three ventures, a GL 1800 Goldwing, and dozens of other motorcycles over the past four decades. I have never burned out a clutch, never not even on the machine I road raced for eight years.. The clutch in that race bike had over 120 launches on it, I never touched it, never had to.. Change your brake clutch fluid regularly, don’t use car oil in your motorcycle, don’t put additives in your oil..You will be fine
Im have the same bike as you. I am Gona take it to the Yamaha store so they can bleed my rear break. And I will try to change the oil and the rear gear oil myself those two look easy.
@@flexcustomdiy4662 My mechanic guy fix mine actually, had a gear problem (slippage) + clutch replacement + fix fan. I really want to drive my Royal Star, it's a lovely bike. To be honest, i tried 3 Harley (883, 1200 Sportster, and Dyna), but the Royal Star is so much better, so much smooth !! Now, i am just subscribe to your channel, greetings from Thailand my Royal Star brother :)
OK, for the first time I got clutch slippage at 36K only after oil change, I put 10w40 royal purple full synthetic, only in 5th gear, my guess it's a weak stock diaphragm spring
@@flexcustomdiy4662 i am going with barnet conversation kit plate+springs, also planning to touch my steel plates with orbital sander paper grade probably 400 to 600.
Great job. Thank you for sharing experience. I have a video too talking about fuel pump. Soon I’ll subtitle it and share with you. I don’t have a CZcams account yet. Soon I’ll create one for Royal Star 1300 Brazil. Follow us on Instagram. 👍🙏

You can use a syringe to force fluid from the slave bleed valve back up through the master cylinder. No special tools required, just a syringe or two.
My clutch is starting to slip, excellent advice here,thanks man
Thank you man you solved my problem hahaha. Bike looks badass
Thank you for sharing your experience, great video :-)
Thanks
I've been having issue with my clutch fluid randomly draining with no signs of leak. Leaning heavy towards slave cylinder leaking into oil.

If slips Most probably clutch must be replaced ! My advice go with the barnet .

iF YOU LEAN THE BIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE OIL WILL NOT COME OUT !However even if it does it will be just a bit witch will not affect the engine !

Do you have to take the alternator cover off as well as it says in the manual? I am doing the same job now, regards John
Hi there , take off only the cover i point so you can have clearance to remove the slave cylinder ! Good luck
👍
@@flexcustomdiy4662 OK thanks.
i have slipping only 4th and 5th gear what do you think is it clutch discs or springs
I cant say exactly but , if you open the clutch go all the way and change disks and go for barnet springs . Good luck !
Im have the same bike as you. I am Gona take it to the Yamaha store so they can bleed my rear break. And I will try to change the oil and the rear gear oil myself those two look easy.
If you know the steps everything is easy my men , good luck 👍
Very good video man !
Do you still have this bike ?
Thanks ! Yeap , I still got it .

y had clutch slippage in all gears or just in 5th gear ?
Clutch was not slipping ! Had no compression so when i go on 1st gear bike was turning off !
