Clutch Fluid

Dot 4 brake fluid - it's all the same regardless of whether its clutch or brake.

 

I favour Motul 660 as it has a better tolerance to higher temperatures. Andy

 

You may not need fluid. These bikes are notorious for needing regular clutch bleeds, but most of the time all you need to do is open the bleed valve on the master and GENTLY squeeze the clutch lever until fluid appears, then tighten it again. That’s it.

 

Just one thing it will be Dot4 that's in there so make sure whatever brand you use to top up it's DOT4 rated as well.

DOT5.1 will be OK but DOT5 is a no no, best to stick with DOT4.

 

Think that should be the other way round. Before ABS on Harleys they used dot5 which is silicon based.

 

Agree, that's me having it arse about face, I fess up, thanks Geoff, post edited now.
