CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL
1. Stand the motorcycle on a level surface.
Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand.
2. Check:
S
clutch fluid level
Below the minimum level mark
a
Add the
recommended clutch fluid to the proper lev-
el.
Recommended clutch fluid
Brake fluid DOT 4
S
Use only the designated clutch fluid. Other
clutch fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
clutch performance.
S
Refill with the same type of clutch fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing clutch
fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction, leading to poor clutch perfor-
mance.
S
When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the reservoir. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of the clutch
fluid and could cause vapor lock.
Clutch fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up
any spilt clutch fluid immediately.
In order to ensure a correct reading of the clutch
fluid level, make sure that the top of the reser-
voir is horizontal.
