clutch hose change

[silverhornet]

Hi, Has anyone got any experience of replacing a hydraulic clutch hose on a R1150RS,

My five year old bike seems to have developed a leak and emptied the master cylinder contents over the back of the gearbox and onto the floor.

I've looked at the slave cylinder an it appears to be dry but i can't figure out how to get to the hose banjo bolts

Take the slave cylinder off the back of the transmission first (three torx bolts). Then you can get hose off the cyl. You will likely need a new slave cyl. to transmission gasket, as they often tear.
