Hydraulic Clutch; Checking Fluid Level - EBR 1190RS 2013 Owner's Manual

HYDRAULIC CLUTCH

General
The clutch is hydraulically actuated. Squeezing the left
hand lever actuates the clutch master cylinder applying
hydraulic pressure through the clutch fluid line to the
secondary clutch actuator. The secondary actuator acts
on the clutch pressure plate compressing the clutch
springs and disengaging the clutch.
The slipper action clutch reduces undesired engine
braking when the engine is down shifted at speed.

Checking Fluid Level

Refer to table 26. Check the fluid level as follows:
1. Stand the motorcycle upright (not leaning on the
sidestand) on a level surface, turn the handlebar so
the clutch master cylinder reservoir is level.
2. Verify the fluid level in the fluid reservoir.

3. If the fluid level is at or below the MIN line, rotate
the front forks to access the fluid reservoir and re-
move the cover, stiffener and diaphragm.
4. Inspect the cover, stiffener and diaphragm for dam-
age. Replace the diaphragm if necessary.
D.O.T. 4 hydraulic brake fluid is used in the hydrau-
lic clutch. Use AmsOil Series 600 racing DOT4 rac-
ing Brake Fluid or equivalent. Do not use other types
of fluids as they are not compatible and could cause
equipment damage.
Do not allow dirt or debris to enter the master cylin-
der reservoir. Dirt or debris in the reservoir can
cause improper operation and equipment damage.
