Checking clutch-fluid
level
Changing the position of
the clutch-fluid reservoir
can allow air to penetrate the
clutch system.
Do not turn either the handle-
bar fitting on the handlebars,
or the handlebars in their
mounts.c
• Make sure the ground is
level and firm and either hole
the motorcycle upright or
place it on the centre
OE
stand .
• Make sure the handlebars
are in the straight-ahead
position.
• Read off the clutch fluid level
at the reservoir.
1 Clutch fluid reservoir
2 MIN mark
Do not permit the clutch-fluid
level to drop below the
MIN mark. Have the clutch
system checked immediately if
the fluid level drops below the
MIN mark.
• Have the fault rectified as
soon as possible by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably
an authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer.
The level of fluid in the
reservoir rises as the
clutch wears.c
Unsuitable hydraulic flu-
ids could cause damage
to the clutch system.
Do not attempt to top up the
system with fluids of any
kind.c
The clutch system is filled
with a special hydraulic
fluid that does not have to be
changed.c
