HYDRAULIC CLUTCH
NOTE:
• While holding the clutch hose, tighten the
union bolt as shown.
• Turn the handlebar to the left and to the right
to make sure the clutch hose does not touch
other parts (e.g., wire harness, cables,
leads). Correct if necessary.
3. Install:
• clutch push rod holder 1
• clutch lever 2
NOTE:
@
Lubricate the clutch lever pivot with lithium
soap base grease.
@
4. Fill:
• clutch master cylinder reservoir
(with the specified amount of the recom-
mended clutch fluid)
Recommended clutch fluid
Brake fluid DOT 4
WARNING
@
• Use only the designated clutch fluid.
Other clutch fluids may cause the rubber
seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and
poor clutch performance.
• Refill with the same type of clutch fluid
that is already in the system. Mixing
clutch fluids may result in a harmful
chemical reaction, leading to poor clutch
performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the clutch master cylinder reser-
voir. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the clutch fluid and could
cause vapor lock.
