I have an 09 FE 570 with a Rekluse Pro clutch installed. I am still using the stock clutch setup. I notice lever feel going away on occasion. Removed master cylinder cover to find reservoir low on fluid. No sing of external leakage. This has happen multiple times. Where is the fluid going? Help
Same thing is happening on my 09 FE450. I do not have the Rekluse. I am assuming it is leaking in to the engine. They do not offer a rebuild kit for the slave cylinder anymore so I just ordered a new slave. It should come in next week. Hopefully, that will solve it.
I just posted this on KTMtalk:
For those of you with a damaged slave cylinder bore I would recommend to skip a stock replacement and getting the Sigutech unit instead. It has a much better designed 2 ring piston that cannot rock in the bore and is made from a higher grade billet aluminum. They have not had any failures even on the notorious LC8 clutches.
It's the choice of the Husaberg Adventure Team. :roost:

These are the colors they have available now but if there is interest from Berg riders the owner has mentioned he could do a run in blue.

I also have a leaking clutch slave cylinder and have purchased the Sigutech replacement
Member Blaine was kind enough to detail the replacement process which I am reposting for other to benefit from...
The trick is knowing / learning how to bleed the clutch slave.
1. Remove the four bolts that fasten the clutch slave and the chain guard, including the chain guard one on the tire side.
2. Move the clutch slave away from the engine so that you can remove the bleed screw and attach your bleeder syringe.
3. Remove the cover of the hydraulic clutch reservoir (on the handle bars). Remove any clutch fluid remaining in the clutch reservoir and the clutch pipe with the syringe and discard.
4. Remove the clutch pipe from the OEM slave and install on Sigutech slave clutch with the two copper seal washers the same way they were installed on the OEM slave to get a good seal. Use new copper seal washers if you have some. Align the pipe when holding the slave against the engine and tighten the bolt for the clutch pipe. Fill syringe with fresh clutch fluid, and as little air as possible. Connect syringe to new slave clutch.
5. Push fluid back though the slave / clutch pipe until there is about a half an inch of fluid in the the clutch cylinder reservoir and air is no longer bubbling out.
6. Install and tighten the hydraulic reservoir cover. This will maintain a vacuum so that you can remove the syringe without fluid running out.
If enough fluid runs out and air gets back into the clutch pipe at the reservoir end, remove the cover and return to step 5.
7. Remove the syringe and re-install the bleeder screw.
8. Mount the clutch slave with the new gasket and the chain guard with the four bolts previously removed.
9. Remove the clutch reservoir cover and top up with clutch fluid to about 1/8 inch from the top of the reservoir, and re-install cover.
10. Start up, shift through the gears and check for leaks. After about an hour ride, recheck the clutch reservoir level.

Monstermaniac, the hydraulic clutch fluid has no place to leak but into the clutch itself and therefore mixes with the engine oil. Since it's mineral oil, that won't harm the engine. Although the Husaberg parts manual does not list replacement parts for the clutch, I have read that there is an o-ring available that can be used for a rebuild - P/N 0770 291 016. At least that's the part number for the 2011 570. I am not certain that it's the correct part number for your 2009 model. With two years on that slave cylinder, you probably do need to rebuild the one you've got or replace it with the Sigutech unit.
Lucas, are you sure that's the right unit for the Husabergs? That link only mentions KTMs.

Yeah it fits the Bergs too, the German version of the page mentions them specifically but for some reason the English one doesn't. Even if you don't speak German you'll see 70° in here: :mrgreen:

Just thought I'd update this thread - Rekluse also sells an adjustable slave clutch that is specifically designed for the 70 degree motor. It's not on their web-shop, so you have to call them up to get it.
It's designed to work with their EXP/CoreEXP clutches, but I don't believe that's a requirement.
I have one. Well made, and cheaper than the Sigutech (IIRC, I paid $100, plus shipping).
