MAINTENANCE
CLUTCH FLUID
CAUTION:
• Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are
not compatible with each other.
• Do not allow foreign material
to
enter the sys-
tem when filling the reservoir.
• Avoid spilling fluid on painted, plastic or rubber
parts. Place
a
rag over these parts whenever the
system is serviced.
NOTE:
When the fluid level is low, check entire system for
leaks (page 3-21).
Turn the handlebar to the right side so that the
reservoir is level and check the fluid level in the
clutch reservoir.
If the level is near the "LOWER" level line, remove
the screw, stopper plate, reservoir cap, set plate
and diaphragm, and fill the reservoir with DOT 4
brake fluid from a sealed container to the "UPPER"
level line.
Install the diaphragm, set plate, reservoir cap and
stopper plate, and tighten the stopper plate screw.
