FAQs
What motorcycles is this kit compatible with?
This All Balls Clutch Slave Cylinder Kit (18-6038) is compatible with KTM SMC 690 R models from 2012-2023 and Husqvarna FE701 models from 2017-2023.
What components are included in the kit?
The kit typically includes all necessary components to re-seal leaking slave cylinders, such as copper washers, seals, O-rings, gaskets, springs, and screws.
Do I need special tools to install this kit?
Basic motorcycle maintenance tools are required. Specific tools may be needed for clutch bleeding. It's recommended to have a service manual for your specific model.
How long does installation typically take?
Installation time can vary depending on your mechanical experience, but it generally takes 1-2 hours, including the time for clutch bleeding.
Will this kit fix a worn-out slave cylinder bore?
This kit is designed to replace seals and O-rings to fix leaks. If the slave cylinder bore itself is significantly scored or damaged, this kit may not fully resolve the issue, and the cylinder may need replacement.
Where can I find installation instructions?
While specific instructions are not always included, it is best to consult your motorcycle's service manual or online resources specific to your KTM or Husqvarna model for detailed disassembly and reassembly procedures.
Troubleshooting
Clutch lever remains spongy after installation
Ensure the clutch system has been properly bled of all air. Double-check that all seals and O-rings were installed correctly and are not pinched or damaged.
Clutch fluid is still leaking
Verify that the correct seals and washers were used for each specific location. Inspect the slave cylinder bore for any deep scratches or damage that the seals cannot overcome. If the bore is damaged, the entire slave cylinder may need replacement.
Difficulty shifting gears persists
Confirm that the clutch is fully disengaging. Check for any binding in the clutch linkage or lever mechanism. Ensure the slave cylinder is actuating correctly.
