Clutch System - Honda 2003 ST1300lA Owner's Manual

Clutch System

Your motorcycle has a hydraulically-actuated clutch. There are no adjustments
to perform, but the clutch system must be inspected periodically for fluid level
and leakage.
If control lever freeplay becomes excessive and the motorcycle creeps or stalls
when shifted into gear, or if the clutch slips, causing acceleration to lag behind
engine speed, there is probably air in the clutch system. See your Honda dealer
to have the air bled out of the system.
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 7 2 .
LEFT HANDLEBAR
LOWER level mark
Check that the fluid level is above the LOWER level mark. If the fluid level is
below the LOWER level mark, it indicates fluid leakage. See your Honda dealer
for repair.
Make sure there are no fluid leaks.
Check for deterioration or cracks in the hose and fittings.
Check that the clutch lever assembly is positioned properly and the securing
bolts are tight.
