Hi guys, I unintentionally popped out my 1250GS clutch master cylinder washer and circlip :augie , the piston stayed in but lost some fluid. i got the washer, circlip and boot back in but I couldnt tell if i was missing anything. Here is a (poor) photo of the plunger, washer and circlip fitted (without the boot) : Does it look correct ? thanks

I saw the dealer about this - and the conclusion was .... it is fine - push in the plunger in with your finger and the washer and clip on the circlip, clean up any oil and top up with blue mineral oil. The rubber boot can go between the washer and the circlip (thats stock), but the rubber boot can also go in after the circlip - this is easier to fit and fine for operation (does not effect operation). So just in case anyone else has the same problem, the cause - apparently the circlip can pop out if the plunger is pulled because it is such a tight fit with the rubber boot and so the circlip can work itself over the retaining lip - so be careful....:blast
