Clutch slave cylinder honing

I got the new weapon to clean the inside of the clutch slave cylinder. 
The honing tool for the master cylinder (attached to the drill) I bought at the tool store.  Cost was about 1,000 JPY.  It looked like a ray gun ☺︎


Fix the slave cylinder in a vise.


Drop the engine oil to the inside of the slave cylinder, insert the honing blades in the slave cylinder and power on the drill.  Then, the honing blades were spread by the centrifugal force and polish the inside of the slave cylinder equally.  


The inside of the slave cylinder became like this.


The other parts were also cleaned.

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #2: tough match

I disassembled the removed clutch master cylinder. And I found that the piston was heavily rusted. I tried to hit it with a hummer , Pushed the piston using the vise clamp like this.  However , the piston was heavily sticking by rust and it could not to be moved today. The brake master cylinder was replaced in the past , however , the clutch master cylinder was not.  Therefore , the condition of the clutch master cylinder might be worse. Tentatively , I would spray the rust-penetration lubricant from both sides of the piston and try again in a few days. If it doesn ’ t work , I would give up the overhaul and order the new part.

Tip to repair rubber parts

I disassembled the rear axle before.  There had been no progress on it because I started the repair of the fuel tank during my summer holiday. While painting the fuel tank , I repaired the torn rubber boot of the parking brake wire. I guessed it didn ’ t cost high because it was small rubber part.  But I wanted to try the repair method I read on the magazine article before. This was the condition before the repair.  The rubber was torn apart and separated almost. I used this self-adhesive type butyl tape.  I pasted lots of small pieces of the butyl tape on the back side of the rubber boot.  As time goes by , these tapes would melt and stick together.  After this I applied plenty of adhesive “ Super X Black ” on the rubber boot.  On the magazine of MOTO MAINTENANCE , I read the article that the motorcycle seat was repaired with this method.  So , I wanted to try it. After drying 1 day , it became like this....
