Changing Clutch Fluid
Clutch and brake fluid must be changed every two calendar years, irrespective of the
mileage the motorcycle has covered in that time. (see Bleeding the Clutch).
Bleeding the Clutch
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the
motorcycle.
Make sure absolute cleanliness when adding clutch fluid to the clutch fluid reservoir.
Do nd allow moisture or debris to enter the cylinder as this will adversely affect the
fluid properties.
Always use fluid from a sealed container and do not use fluid from a container which
has been opened for any period of time.
Always check for fluid leakage around hydraulic fittings and for damage to hoses.
A dangerous riding condition leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident
could result if this warning is ignored.
Use only DOT 4 specification brake and clutch fluid as listed in the General Information
section of this manual. The use of brake and clutch fluids other than those DOT 4
fluids listed in the General Information section may reduce the efficiency of the clutch
system leading to an accident.
