AIR BLEEDING
Check the fluid level with the fluid reservoir parallel
to the ground.
CAUTION:
Install the diaphragm on the reservoir when
operating the clutch lever. Failure to do so
will
allow clutch fluid to squirt out of the
reservoir during clutch operation.
A void spilling fluid on painted surfaces.
Place a rag over the fuel tank whenever
the system is serviced.
CLUTCH FLUID DRAINING
Connect a bleed hose to the bleed valve,
Loosen the slave cylinder bleed valve and pump the
clutch lever. Stop operating the lever when no more
fluid flows out of the bleed valve,
CLUTCH FLUID FILLING
NOTE:
Do not mix different types of fluid sin ce they
are not compatible.
Close the bleed valve, fill the reservoir, and install
the diaph ragm.
To prevent piston overtravel and clutch fluid see·
page, keep a 20 mm (3/4 in) spacer between the
handlebar grip and lever when bleeding the clutch
system. Pump up the system pressure with the lever
until there are no air bubbles in the fluid flo wing
out of the reservoir small hole and lever resistance is
felt. Then bleed the system.
AIR BLEEDI NG
NOTE :
Check the fluid level often while bleeding
the clutch to prevent air from being pump-
ed into the system.
Use only DOT 3 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Do not mix brake fluid types and never
reuse the fluid which has been pumped out
during bleeding, or the efficiency of the
clutch system will be impaired.
