CHECK
Position the vehicle on the stand, see p.
56 (POSITIONING THE VEHICLE ON
THE STAND).
Turn the handlebar partially rightwards,
so that the fluid contained in the clutch
fluid tank is parallel to the edge of the
clutch fluid tank (1) (see figure).
Make sure that the fluid level exceeds
the "MIN" mark.
MIN= minimum level
If the fluid does not reach the "MIN"
mark, provide for topping up.
TOPPING UP
Carefully read p. 35 (CLUTCH FLUID -

The fluid may flow out. Do not operate
the clutch control lever if the reservoir
plug is loose or has been removed.
Avoid any prolonged exposure of the
clutch fluid to the air.
The clutch fluid is hygroscopic and
when in contact with the air it absorbs
its humidity.
Leave the clutch fluid tank open ONLY
for the time necessary for topping up.
Position a cloth under the brake reser-
voir, in case some fluid should be
spilled.
Using a short, cross-tip screwdriver, un-
screw the two screws (2) of the clutch
fluid tank (1).
