    I know you're on tenterhooks. :)

    Finally decided to have a look this afternoon.

    In between downpours, I removed the left fairing panel (7 Allen bolts,
    and four pushclips[1]), and undid the three 8mm bolts holding on the
    slave cylinder.

    Inside, it was *filthy*. How? The gasket was intact. Hmm.

    Anyway, I pulled out the pushrod, and clean it thoroughly, applied a
    thin layer of grease, and similarly cleaned the outside of the slave
    piston.

    All now *seems* well.

    I think I'll order a seal for the slave piston just in case.

    Hopefully this week'll prove whether it's worked, or not.

    Is there no end to this man's depravity?

    A bit of a leak, or is it positioned so that chain lube can get flung in
    there?
    Make sure you let us know...

    ****. I know what you mean, but I've never tried to put a name to
    'em. Pushclips? Fairing clips?

    My clutch went all creaky on the bird, felt to be snatchy through the
    lever (prolly through lack of use) so I told the man about it on the
    last service.

    He did some unknown jiggery pokery whilst it was entrusted in their
    care. I neither know nor care what they did.

    Lovely it is now ... !

    Ooh, are those the things that are missing on my fairing, causing that
    rubber on the indicator to perish?

    I don't think so. Those fixings would be more likely to be bolts.
    ITYF that in Will's opinion, your bike is also missing several kg of
    Dexion ...
