So I got my bike home tonight and I know that there is an issue with the clutch. I took off the cover and the plastic topper. The rubber gasket underneath seemed all swollen and misshapen. It was too big to fit the master properly. Is this normal? The fluid in the master is see through with a slight yellow tinge to it. I will try to bleed it, but I want to know if all will be wasted if that gasket is messed up.

So the fact that the top of the gasket is bigger than the master is okay? I squished it all back in and got the plastic cover and cap back on. If the gasket is good I will bleed it and go. I seem to remember the brake gasket on my old CB550 was a similar setup.

The Master was not empty at all. Still had fluid about a 1/4 inch up. When I squeezed the lever a could see a pulse of fluid from the smaller hole. The gent I bought it from said he pulled the lever and had tension and it just slowly "leaked down" and then no clutch reponse.

I got it all inside and can't see anything after the platic cap and metal cap are screwed in place. Screws went in no problem and no binding. Should be good?

Got it fixed? One of my coworkers picked up my diaphragm for me since the closest dealer is a hundred klicks away. Got my plate and insurance tonight and started in. I did the turn the bars and flip the lever. This seemed to work a bit. I broke the banjo loose and did the same thing and I cold see air percolating by. Tightened the banjo and automatically got lever. Pressed it a few more times while the bubbles poured out. Waited for no bubbles and now I got a clutch. I will do a flush later, I just wanted to get it fixed. Took it out for a ride about town and what a nice feeling that is. Thanks for the help.
