R1150GS riders, check your clutch hose

If you ride an R1150GS you should check your clutch hose connector where it joins the clutch slave cylinder for corrosion. The hose has a loose rubber sleeve. This sleeve can collect water and will rust the connector to the point where you will end up with a leak. Cut back the sleeve, so the connector is fully exposed. You'll need to do this next time have the rear tyre off, better even with the shock out.  A new hose is very expensive!

Take to your local ENZED / HYDRAULINK hose doctor and get them to replace the fittingregards boGSer

It's a smaller size than the brake line, would they have that? I'll have to see if I can fiddle a new one in without taking half the bike apart. I think if you have ABS you're pretty much out of luck and you'll have to lift the air-box. There is little room to maneuver.
