update--slave was pretty dirty inside but the rubber looked great--no obvious
erosion at all. Pulled the flex rubber line and did't see any defects---but
will replace it anyway. Will pull the master and rebuild it just in case. It
is a B***H to get to.Oh---the bleed screw on the slave is at the top where you
can't get to it unless you remove the tunnel hump. Assuming you can bend the
rubber hose enough, is there any problem moving the bleed screw to the
bottom?Tom

body {height: 100%; color:#000000; font-size:12pt; font-family:arial,
helvetica, sans-serif;}Went out to do my mid-winter start up and general check
of the BJ8 today. Pushed in the clutch---absolutely no resistance and went
right to the floor. Checked fluid--empty. No obvious leaks from the
master----some leaks on the floor---haven;t climbed under her yet, but
will---suspect the slave.
Oh well--at least it didn't happen on the road. BTW, I'm using, and have been
using silicone fluid for a long time------wonder if the rubber in the slave
finally gave up.
I understand there is a code # for compatible silicone fluid in clutch/brake
applications---??
