Hydraulic Clutch - Victory Motorcycles 2009 Hammer Owner's Manual

Clutch
Mechanical Clutch
1. Squeeze the clutch lever toward the handlebar and release it. It should
move freely and smoothly and should return to its rest position quickly
when released.
2. Clutch lever freeplay is the amount of clutch lever movement from the
rest position to the point of cable resistance. Freeplay (gap) should be
.02-.06 inch (0.5-1.5 mm). Measure the gap between the clutch lever
and the lever housing.
3. Adjust clutch lever freeplay if necessary (see page 106).
NOTE: The starter interlock switch is dependent on the clutch lever freeplay being set
correctly to ensure activation of the clutch safety switch.

Hydraulic Clutch

Check the hydraulic clutch fluid level.
1. Position the motorcycle on level ground with the front wheel straight
forward. Do not use the side stand. Position the handlebars so that the
clutch fluid reservoir is level.
2. View the fluid level through the sight glass. The fluid should be clear
and at a level in or above the sight glass. Add clutch fluid if necessary
(see page 108).
