MAINTENANCE
Hydraulic Clutch
Add Hydraulic Clutch Fluid
1. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position. Turn the handlebars until the reservoir is horizontal.
2. Wipe the area around the reservoir cover with a clean cloth.
3. Wipe the clutch fluid container with a clean cloth.
4. Remove the reservoir cover and gasket.
•
Do not operate the clutch while the reservoir cover is removed. Fluid could overflow from the reservoir
and cause air to enter the fluid system. Air in the fluid system could cause the clutch to malfunction.
•
Use DOT4 brake fluid in the hydraulic clutch reservoir. Use fluid only from a sealed, clean container.
Using the wrong fluid or allowing contaminants into the fluid system can damage the system seals,
resulting in a clutch malfunction.
WARNING
5. Carefully add enough clutch fluid to bring the level just above the sight glass.
6. Reinstall the reservoir gasket and cover.
