Had the FJ out and about for a month a month ago on a permit getting bits done for the upcoming RWC.  :good2:I started it yesterday just to move it and let it run for a few minutes, all was good :good2: :yahoo:.........Until today :mad: I went to put it back in its spot and cover it only to find the clutch master cylinder has gone to god :ireful:.... Can't win a trick :flag_of_truce:....well now igot to work out whether is slave or master cylinder.. Tipping master is buggered. Yamaha don't stock new ones either only kits... CBF with it for now. Over it.... Can sit there. Upside to it is I might change the lines. By time I've finished the bastard thing will be new. Got to get the mufflers done to now......never ending..may just reco the brake master cylinder yet as well... Won't get to courageous yet. sometimes you just want to scream...... Like now :dash1: :diablo: :lol:

If it's the master, it'll probably be dripping all over your inner fairing panel.

If it's the slave, it'll probably be dripping all over the inside of your chin fairing.

Slave cylinder is famous for going out on these. Rebuild kit is about $25.00.

Either way get it cleaned off QUICK. I found my fairing covered after a master cylinder leak, caught it too freakin' late.... Destroyed the fairing and scoop on the left side.   :dash1:
