If you are continualy blowing slave cylinder seals i would hazard a guess that the slave is to worn and you need a new one. When you replace the seals are you cleaning the slave piston and bore with a scotchbrite pad and re-newing the fluids(anything else will damage the piston & bore)

You can change the master cylinder for a more recent model (FJR,XJR, Fazer ect) you will gwet a better clutch pull with one of these. These can be picked up nearly as cheaply as the repair kits from Ebay.

Have you joined the FJ owners club, you can purchase a wide range of parts from them and get advice over the phone for a yearly sub of i think £17

I have a very good standard clutch master you can have for a few beer tokens, just let me know.

I'm with FJ12SP. My old FJ1200 3CV used to be the same.

Cheap seals are available from your local engineering factors or I found a local company who build pumps and used to supply them at a fraction of the cost.

I ended up replacing the slave unit and wished had done it earlier. never had a problem after that.
