Hi all
Had the pleasure of my clutch packing up, nothing at the lever ,managed to get a friend with a car trailer to get me home Mine has the TTS hydraulic conversion and this is what i found on dismantling ,O rings shot and damage marks on the Oberon slave ,
Phoned Oberon ordered a new unit that comes with silicon 70 o rings ,the dome on the the TTS part does not match the Oberon part to well so will modify or get a Buell part.
Read thro some old posts and not so old ones and i should have seen this coming

Crap! Sorry to hear. Appreciate breakdown analysis.
 
This fault has been figured out alright and Oberon informed years ago so I hope they've heeded by now.

The o rings need to be DOT 4 compatible rubber like EPDM.

Oberon used to supply the slave with Viton rings and they fail.




Re the dome or bullnose nut, the TTS one does indeed have trouble seating into the slave cylinder ok, I ordered the Buell one and it fits perfect (the slave is made for a Buell) but the bore and thread are a size down from the TTS pullrod so you can't use it without modifying either the pullrod or the bullnose nut.
