21 52 005 Changing the clutch fluid • Screw the bleed screw all the way into the filler adapter (valve in filler adapter closed). e Attention: While bleeding the system, do not allow the brake fluid level to drop below the bottom edge of the ring mark, as otherwise air will be drawn into the clutch system. Bleed the system again if this happens. (Inspection IV) every 2 years at the latest L Note: The description applies to a brake system filling and bleeding device with vacuum extraction of brake flu- id at the bleed line. If other devices are used, comply with their manu- facturers’ instructions. • Open the bleed screw by half a turn (valve open).
• Draw off brake fluid until it emerges clear and free from air bubbles. • Remove the bleed screw. • Disconnect the brake bleeding device from the bleed screw. • Place the motorcycle on its main (centre) stand. • Turn the handlebars to a position in which the clutch fluid reservoir is horizontal. • Secure front wheel in position. L Note: On account of the vacuum extraction process, it might not be possible to tell whether there is brake fluid in the hose of the brake bleeding device when it is free of bubbles. In this case bleed the system manually. e Attention:
Keep the brake fluid in the clutch operating system away from painted surfaces on the motorcycle be- cause brake fluid attacks paint. • Remove reservoir cap with rubber diaphragm. • Draw off the brake fluid and clean the reservoir. • Top up the brake fluid. . • Reinstall socket-head grub screw (2) in the filler adapter. e Attention: The motorcycle is not permitted on the road without the grub screw in place and secure in the filler adapter. 3 • Correct the fluid level. • Reinstall the reservoir lid with rubber diaphragm in position. • Tighten the reservoir cap carefully and without using force. • Recheck the fluid level. 1 2 X Tightening torque:
