All Balls Slave Cylinder Rebuild Kit - HondaCTX1300/VTR1000F/CBR1000F/CBR1100XX

The All Balls Racing 18-6031 is a clutch slave cylinder rebuild kit for selected Honda models, including the CTX1300, VTR1000F, CBR1000F and CBR1100XX. It is intended as a service item for a hydraulic clutch that has become spongy, slow to return or has started weeping fluid at the slave cylinder.

Rebuilding the existing cylinder is usually a far cheaper path than replacing the complete unit, so this kit suits home mechanics and workshops carrying out routine hydraulic clutch servicing or restoring an older bike. Fitting is a workshop-manual job: the clutch hydraulic system must be drained, rebuilt and bled correctly before the motorcycle is ridden.

Confirm fitment against your model and year using the Honda service manual or a parts diagram before ordering or fitting.
Work clean: hydraulic clutch components are sensitive to grit, so clean the outside of the slave cylinder thoroughly before dismantling it.
Inspect the cylinder bore and piston for scoring, pitting or corrosion once stripped — a damaged bore cannot be corrected by new seals and the cylinder should be replaced.
Use only fresh brake fluid of the type specified by Honda for the clutch circuit, from a sealed container; do not use petroleum-based greases or solvents on the rubber seals.
Assemble and torque all fasteners to the figures given in the Honda service manual for your model.
Bleed the clutch hydraulic system fully after fitting, then check lever feel and confirm the clutch fully disengages before riding.
Wipe up any spilt fluid immediately — brake fluid damages paint and plastics.
Re-check the slave cylinder and hose fittings for weeping or leaks after the first ride and again after a few hundred kilometres.
Replace the clutch fluid at the intervals set out in your motorcycle's service schedule to help the new seals last.
