CLUTCH
CLUTCH FLUID REPLACEMENT/
AIR BLEEDING
Check the fluid level with the fluid reservoir parallel
to the ground.
CAUTION:
Install the diaphragm on the reservoir when
operating the clutch lever. Failure to do so
will allow clutch fluid to squirt out of the
reservoir during clutch operation.
• Avoid spilling fluid on painted surfaces.
Place a rag over the fuel tank whenever
the system is serviced.
CLUTCH FLUID DRAINING
Connect a bleed hose to the bleed valve.
Loosen the slave cylinder bleed vlave and pump the
clutch lever.
Stop operating the lever when no fluid flows out of
the bleed valve.
CLUTCH FLUID FILLING
NOTE:
Do not mix different types of fluid since they
may not be compatible.
Close the bleed valve, fill the reservoir, and install
the diaphragm.
To prevent piston overtravel and clutch fluid see-
page, keep a 20 mm (3/4 in) spacer between the
handlebar grip and lever when bleeding the clutch
system. Pump up the system pressure with the lever
until there are no air bubbles in the fluid flowing
out of the reservoir small hole and lever resistance is
felt. Then bleed the system.
