Clutch Slave Cylinder - Blew up

Ahhh.  The clutch was playing up.  When the engine got hot, the clutch would not disengage (no pressure).  I had to pump it to get some pressure.  I kept saying I would bleed the clutch.. But that never came...

After 5 days of this, I was riding on Friday evening to Rabat and all of a sudden, the clutch went firm.  I was forcing the lever while riding.  It finally gave way and the lever was moving but no action in the clutch.  Hindsight says I was stupid not to realise I was actually pumping the fluid out of the reservoirs.

Finally I came to a halt at the stop sign and parked her up.  Fluid all over the place.

I ordered my new slave cylinder from Ebay.  This weekend I will be attaching and bleeding the system  :)
