Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

New CL slave cyl installed with Urea grease at the release fork saddle.




The owner wanted to use the SoS CL line insead of OEM one so normally, you must tighten each fittings from the bottom at the CL slave cyl side first and then move upwards. Otherwise, the line will be twisted and may become loose under vibration.

However, if you created your own template showing the exact positing of the slave cyl after the engine installation, you can install the line in advance.
Especially useful method on LEV model.

With OEM CL hose, no need for the template because it can be installed only in one way with D-cutout at the top hose fitting.

Double checked that the CL slave cyl plunger is sitting properly at the saddle before securing the protection cover.
I don't know how people can check this by replacing the CL slave cyl from the top......






Cleaning the engine bay.
Before/after.






While in there, quickly replaced the Fuel Filter.
Double checked that none of the fuel lines are touching anything.
Quite often, I see fuel line/pipes scratching against something. It could cause leakage so please check your engine bay when you have a chance.
