Use and maintenance
Filling the clutch circuit
Warning
Clutch fluid will damage painted surfaces if spilled on them. It is also very harmful if it comes into contact with the skin or with
the eyes; in the event of accidental contact, wash the affected area with abundant running water.
Fill the reservoir (2) with the recommended fluid (Sect. C 2, Fuel, lubricants and other fluids) from a previously unopened
container.
Important
During the following operation, the fluid level must remain topped up at all times. The end of the transparent plastic tubing must
remain immersed in the discharged fluid at all times.
Operate the clutch lever several times to fill the circuit and expel any air.
Connect the bleed tool to the bleed valve (3).
Notes
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using a commercial clutch bleeding tool.
Open the bleed valve (4) and pump with the bleeding tool. Make sure that the reservoir level does not fall below the
MIN
mark.
Repeat the bleeding operation until the fluid emerging from the plastic tube connected to the bleed valve (4) is free of air bubbles.
If you do not have a bleeding tool available, connect a length of transparent plastic tubing to the bleed valve (4) as outlined in the
draining procedure.
Open the bleed valve (4) by a
1/4
turn and operate the clutch lever several times until the fluid starts to emerge from the bleed
valve (4).
Pull the lever fully in and then slacken off the bleed valve by at least a
1/4
turn.
Wait for a few seconds, then release the lever gradually while simultaneously closing the bleed valve (3).
Important
Do not release the clutch lever until the bleed valve has been fully tightened.
Repeat the bleeding operation until the fluid emerging from the plastic tube is free of air bubbles.
Tighten bleed valve (4) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings) and fit the dust cap.
