Its been a bit since a tech video , and this unit off the ZRX is nearly identical to the Hayabusa . After all the ZRX models share same brakes as Gen 1 hayabusa but use steel pistons .

yep man

very good video - thanks for it

what i want to go to again is the pitting inside the slave

when ever the seal leaks one should put the slave apart and inspect the inside of the slave.
if it is used over, let me say 60 k miles or so, the slave cylinder sometimes gets an oval bulge in the working area of the seal.
if such ovality is recognizable, the slave is only scrap and has to be replaced - albeit rel. expensive, best to use a brand new one.

and like you already said in the video - this issue is more or less usual at all hydraulic clutch slaves after a bigger mileage.

to the little dirt at the clutch´s piston you showed in the video

suzuki seemingly learned a bit and at the gen2 they use a kind of mud protector at the slave
see number 22 at the following microfiche

and if someone has the issue with the busa´s slave here my little hint:
buy the entire slave from the gen2 incl. the "cap" (#22) - it fits to the gen1

and
for all perfectionists:
get this silver alu piece

to protect also the rod and its damn seal in the crankcase/transmission wall from all mud.
highly recommended for both the gen1 and the gen2
available at "kojak´s" and his shop in germany and yes - he delivers also to the us ;)
