vmax '97 clutch oil

[nswizard]

Hi riders of best bike ever

This questions were probably asked before but i was not able to find it.
My clutch oil level is low, there is not leak under the bike and there is some free lever movement.
Bought bike few months ago so i do not know what oil is in clutch reservoir.
What oil goes there?

What is the proper way to bleed clutch and put new oil?

tnx!

Dot 3 brake fluid

I use Valvoline DOT 3/4 Synthetic Brake Fluid but don't know if that is available where you are. Any DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid will do. Do NOT use DOT 5 though. Look in the Technical section of this forum under Drivetrain, subforum Clutch and you will find Sticky's on how to bleed the clutch.

If the level is low, just top it up with any dot 3 or 4 fluid and go. If the fluid in the master is brown and crappy looking that means it's absorbed a lot of moisture and you should flush/bleed the system until you get clean new oil out of the bleeder. But if it's clear, I wouldn't bother unless your clutch is dragging or has a spongy feel, indicating it's got air in the system.
