What type of fluid has to be used in the clutch hydraulic system?
The hydraulic clutch is designed to operate with a DOT-3 brake fluid.
Clutch maintenance of the motorcycle can be carried out with the engine fitted into the frame, is that right?
Yes, you do not need to take out the engine in order to maintain the clutch, it can be done while the engine is in the frame.
What is the reason for the clutch lever feeling soft/spongy?
Soft or spongy clutch lever could be caused by air dissolving into hydraulic oil, a low hydraulic oil level or leakage of the hydraulic oil system.
In which cases can I expect my clutch to slip?
Perhaps sticking of the hydraulic system, disc wear, or a weak one spring, are common recommendations for clutch slipping.
What should I do if the clutch will not disengage?
Inspect for air in the hydraulic system, fluid levels that are low, a leak in the hydraulic system, sticking of the hydraulic system or plates that are warped.
How often should I check the fluid level in the clutch system?
This should be checked regularly especially when bleeding the system to avoid the hydraulic system introducing air into it.
