Checking/correcting the fluid level of the hydraulic clutch

Info
The fluid level rises with increasing wear of the clutch facing discs.
Never use DOT 5 brake fluid. It is silicone-based and purple in color. Oil seals and brake lines are not designed for DOT 5 brake
fluid.
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint!
Use only clean brake fluid from a sealed container.
Check the chain sliding piece for wear.
»
If the lower edge of the chain pins is in line with or below the chain sliding piece:
Change the chain sliding piece.
Check that the chain sliding piece is firmly seated.
»
If the chain sliding piece is loose:
Tighten the screw on the chain sliding piece.
