Clutch Hydraulic System: Service and Repair
Clutch Hydraulic System BleedingNOTE:
^ Do not reuse the drained fluid. Always use Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the system.
^ Make sure the brake fluid is not contaminated with dirt or other foreign matter.
^ Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint or plastic. If brake fluid does contact the paint or plastic, wash it off immediately with water.
^ If may be necessary to limit the movement of the release fork with a block of wood to remove all the air from the system.
^ Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted, surfaces.
