Clutch fluid replacement

[pgapro78]

What are the steps needed to change the clutch fluid? 2008 FJR clutch is on the left side of the steering column and just curious what you do to bleed the system. New to the FJR

Have you checked the FJRTech area recommended to you when you signed up specifically about clutch fluid changes or the other suggested external links?

FYI. fjrtech suggest you use synpower brake fluid. Don't be shocked if you wont find it anywhere as it has been discontinued.

Directly from their web site. https://www.valvoline.com/faqs/system-fluid...ower-chemicals/

Has SynPower Brake Fluid been discontinued?

Yes. SynPower Brake Fluid has been replaced by Valvoline Full Synthetic DOT 3 & DOT 4 Brake Fluid

Having tried two dif hand vacs from local auto suppliers that were junk and returned, I will get the mity vac. How many turns with 8mm wrench is necessary to open the bleeder valve?

Make sure you check the bottom of the reservoir as a substance similar to mud can accumalate. If found, better to just go ahead and clean and flush. PM. <><

I'm a fan of Prestone DOT 4 from most any auto parts store

No, the mityvac is a piece of crap too. Don't waste your money on that either. You just need to crack the bleeder for fluid to come out, maybe a quarter-turn.

So, you invited me up to your place to fluid exchange my bike and you were gonna hand me a piece of crap tool?

Nice! <_<

That all depends on whether you get the plastic or metal MityVac. I've had my metal MityVac for about 15 years,and it still works just fine. YMMV.

That's good to know. Thanks.
