[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 1409068, member: 3372"] By all means, do not neglect the clutch fluid service. It is just as important as any other hydraulic system on the bike. A quick tip... the service manual has you removing the swing arm from the bike to gain wrench access to a manual actuator wrench point in order to cycle the clutch hydraulics when bleeding. This is not necessary, as the clutch actuates when you turn on the key. Attach a MightyVac to the bleed screw and pump up the vacuum, key on, open bleed screw, close bleed screw, key off, wait 5 - 10 seconds, repeat. Add fresh fluid at the clutch fluid reservoir next to the air filter access as needed. Continue doing this until fresh fluid flows out of the bleed screw. The clutch fluid gets heat from the engine and needs flushing on a regular basis to keep it fresh. Brodie 🙂 [/QUOTE]
