RichardCranium Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Anyone have the link to the article on cbr1100xx.org that pertains to changing the clutch fluid. I looked but couldnt find it. It doesnt actually have to be the one on cbr1100xx either...need to change out my murky brown fluid and although I think its pretty straightforward I want to make sure Im not forgetting anything before I get started.

SwampNut Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I don't think I did an article because it is so easy. Open master cylinder. Loosen bleed valve on slave, attach a hose. Remove as much fluid from master as possible, fill with clean fluid. Squeeze lever and hold, open bleed valve, close when it stops flowing fast. Double pump and hold lever, open valve, etc. until it flows clean. Brake fluid eats paint, discolors plastics. DOT 5.1 fluid will stay cleaner many times longer then DOT 4. DOT 5 is NOT compatible, only 5.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardCranium Posted May 8, 2003 Author Share Posted May 8, 2003 You are correct...it was like a 5 min job...took me a bit longer since I had to look around for a piece of tubing. The damn master had some nice gunk in it. I was able to suck the old shit out with a syringe/baster thingie from the kitchen. Thanks Carlos.
