NOTICE
• Clutch components rarely require disas-
sembly.
• Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
• Never disassemble clutch components un-
less absolutely necessary.
• If any connection on the hydraulic clutch
system is disconnected, the entire clutch
system must be disassembled, drained,
cleaned, properly filled, and bled after reas-
sembly.
• Never use solvents on internal clutch com-
ponents.
• Use only clean or new clutch fluid for clean-
ing clutch components.
• Clutch fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt fluid immediately.
• Avoid clutch fluid coming into contact with
the eyes as it can cause serious injury.
• First aid for clutch fluid entering the eyes:
• Flush with water for 15 minutes and get im-
mediate medical attention.
TIP
Before disassembling the clutch master cylinder,
drain the clutch fluid from the entire clutch sys-
tem.

• Clutch hose union bolt "1"
• Clutch hose gasket "2"
