CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL
1. Stand the vehicle on a level surface.
NOTE:
Place the vehicle on the centerstand.
2. Remove:
• Left side cover
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” in chapter 4.
(Manual No.: 3P6-28197-E0)
3. Check:
• Clutch fluid level
Below the minimum level mark “a” → Add the
recommended clutch fluid to the proper level.
WARNING
EWA13370
• Use only the designated clutch fluid. Other
clutch fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
clutch performance.
• Refill with the same type of clutch fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing clutch flu-
ids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion, leading to poor clutch performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the clutch fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the clutch fluid and could cause vapor lock.
CAUTION:
ECA13420
Clutch fluid may damage painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up any
spilt clutch fluid immediately.
NOTE:
In order to ensure a correct reading of the clutch
fluid level, make sure the top of the reservoir is
horizontal.
4. Install:
• Left side cover
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” in chapter 4.

BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH
SYSTEM
WARNING
EWA13000
Bleed the hydraulic clutch system whenever:
• the system was disassembled,
• a clutch hose was loosened or removed,
• the clutch fluid level is very low,
• clutch operation is faulty.
NOTE:
• Before bleeding the hydraulic clutch system,
shift the transmission into neutral to engage
the clutch.
• Be careful not to spill any clutch fluid or allow
the clutch fluid reservoir to overflow.
• When bleeding the hydraulic clutch system,
make sure that there is always enough clutch
fluid in the reservoir before pumping out the flu-
id using the vacuum/pressure gauge set. Ig-
noring this precaution could allow air to enter
the hydraulic clutch system, considerably
lengthening the bleeding procedure.
• If bleeding is difficult, it may be necessary to let
the clutch fluid settle for a few hours. Repeat
the bleeding procedure when the tiny bubbles
in the hose have disappeared.
1. Remove:
• Air filter case
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” on page 37.
• Rear wheel
Refer to “REAR WHEEL” in chapter 4. (Man-
ual No.: 3P6-28197-E0)
• Swingarm
Refer to “SWINGARM” in chapter 4. (Manual
No.: 3P6-28197-E0)
2. Bleed:
• Hydraulic clutch system
