CHECK
u Place the vehicle on the stand, see page
70 (PUTTING THE VEHICLE ON THE
STAND).
u Turn the handlebar partially to the right,
so that the fluid inside the clutch
reservoir is parallel to the reservoir edge
(1) (see figure).
u Make sure that the fluid level exceeds
the "MIN" mark.
u MIN= minimum level
u Top up if the fluid does not reach at least
the “MIN” mark.
TOPPING UP
Carefully read page 52 (CLUTCH FLUID
- recommendations).
CAUTION
Danger: clutch fluid could leak out.
Never operate the clutch lever when the
reservoir plug is loose or has been
removed.
WARNING
Avoid long exposure of clutch fluid to
air.
Clutch fluid is hygroscopic and will
absorb moisture from the air.
Keep the clutch fluid reservoir open
JUST LONG ENOUGH to top up level.
CAUTION
Place a cloth under the clutch reservoir
to protect it from any fluid spillage.
u Unscrew the two screws (2) of the clutch
fluid reservoir (1) using a small cross-
head screwdriver.
CAUTION
Do not rock the motorcycle from side to
side when topping up or clutch fluid will
spill out.
Do not add any additives or other
products to the fluid.
If you use a funnel or other tools, make
sure that they are perfectly clean.
u Raise and remove the plug (3) together
with the screws (2).
u Remove the gasket (4).
NOTE As a reference to obtain “MAX”
level, top up until fluid completely covers
sight glass (5), keep the clutch reservoir
upright.
u Top up reservoir (1) using recommended
clutch fluid, see page 106 (LUBRICANT
CHART), until reaching the correct level.
