Simple really. Electrical: $2 wiring mod New battery New rectifier Mechanical: Release bearing on slave is seized. New slave or just disassemble and clean. The Futuras may not be Japanese reliable, but just like any other Ape they will be just fine as long as you put in the small amount of time and effort to sort out the small gremlins. I plan on disassembling and lubing my slave cylinder myself soon. Now, define "off-load", what kinda price are we talking about, year, mileage, color?
