NOTE
The engine is provided with an hy-
draulic control clutch, aided by the PPC
(Pneumatic Power Clutch) exclusive pat-
ented system, which avoids the bouncing
of the rear wheel.
CHECKING
N
Position the vehicle on the side stand on
firm and level ground.
N
Turn the handlebar completely right-
wards.
N
Make sure that the fluid level exceeds
the "MIN" mark.
MIN = minimum level
MAX= maximum level

mark, provide for topping up.
TOPPING UP

brake fluid to the air.
The brake fluid is hygroscopic and
when in contact with the air it absorbs
its humidity.

for the time necessary for topping up.

CAUTION
Do not shake the vehicle, in order not to
spill fluid while topping up.
Do not put additives or other subtances
into the fluid.

items, make sure that they are perfectly
clean.
N
Remove the gasket (2).
N
Top up the reservoir (3) by adding clutch
fluid, see p. 90 (LUBRICANT CHART),
until reaching the correct level included
between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the "MAX" mark while
topping up.
Check the clutch efficiency.
If the stroke of the clutch control lever
is excessive or if the clutch system is
not efficient, contact your
cial Dealer, since it may be necessary to
bleed the system.
