clutch has no pressure???

[vtskier]

When putting clutch basket back together I squeezed the clutch handle on the bar before I should have. Took apart slave cylinder and am now trying to fill and bleed the system. Doesn't seem to be working...

When taking off slave cylinder from engine I found a big circlip sitting behind the piston. where does this go? Does not appear to belong there?

Would replacing the o ring on the piston help build up pressure?

Thanks for clutch info on the 2004 te450.

sometimes if you pul the clutch lever in when the slave is not attached to the engine you damage the alu slave body.the circlip pushes past it grove in the body.have a close look as that sounds like what has happened.if so about all you can do is buy a complete new slave assy.dan

Looks like that is exactly what happened. Should I buy aftermarket billet ones from the cafe husky sponsors or stay oem? Will i need a new piston too?

The piston usually doesn't get damaged but it's a possibility. Check it with a magnifying glass for any cracks, and Yes, to the ZipTy slave cylinder will work with the OEM piston. Double check with them that it will fit the 2004

If you need the piston as well, then 7602 is a good product, I have one.

Yep, these things are hard to bleed ... You might have to reverse bleed it, meaning push the fluid up from the slave to the master cylinder ...

First, get that snap ring back on ...I can't remember where it goes because it has been so long since I replaced that slave 0-ring on my 08 TXC250 but just look on the pieces you have in hand ...And I can't find a break down in my manuals of the parts .. But that slave is not a very complex device so you might can figure it out ..

Good luck and how many miles on your bike? My 08 TXC250 has somewhere > 25,000 KMS ...I've just stopped counting the miles \ hrs so much as the bike just keep going and going ... Its a work-horse for sure.

Just to close out this thread...

Borrowed slave cylinder from friend to ride last weekend. Syringe and plastic tubing at slave helped infuse mineral oil into system and drive out air. The slave that I took off was beyond repair and use. The aluminum had broken away so much that the c clip would not stay in place to hold the bore. New parts ordered today.

Pulling the lever with the slave unmounted = kiss of death
