Thank you! My clutch isn't properly engaging after I serviced the indicator switch.. I thought I might have messed up the cabling inside the switch housing or something but the fluid looks empty so will give this a go.
When I replaced the chain and sprockets on y 09 VFR 800, the piston popped out of the slave cylinder. when trying to blead the system after replacing the piston, the force was pushing on the clutch and no air coming from the nipple, so i removed the slave, and clamped the piston with a soft faced plastic clamp, rotated the slave cylinder, so that the nipple was vertical, and it worked a treat
ty for showing me how to do it. ive never had bike and didnt know this. i thought these 2 are for brake fluids omg... but i guess only the right one is for the brakes. i guess both front and rear brake are with the same fluid on the right handle
Correct! Also I did know show additional step because these bikes have linked brakes front and rear. This is not unique but is not usual either. No matter what that helped a ton to avoid having all that debris go through the entire system. Thanks for your comment!!
I do have a question. Mine is a 1994 model VFR 750 rc36 and stood still for 7 or 8 years. I took it home on a trailer last week and noticed the clutch handle doesn't have pressure at all. The battry ofcourse is dead, needs new fuel, oil, oilfilter, .... TLC. Do you think changing the clutch fluid, and cleaning it is enough or do I need to do more? It really feels like no one is home. The clutch could be stuck too after all those years...
I would change the fluid to start. Chances are you get lucky and builds pressure. If it sat for so many year I woukd consider changing the lines eventually, but if you are at least trying to get it going to test it at home etcetera change and bleed it and you might be able to get it working again. Regarding the clutch, I would change the oil and see what's in there, if you are mechanically inclined you can open and check the plates but see how it feels first before you go crazy dissasembling everything everything. I want one of those too 😩. Lucky you
That fluid was never changed at all ! You did a great, clean maintenance job on replacing the clutch fluid ! 🇵🇷
Prettu sure I am maybe the second to ever put hands on that fluid 😁
Nice job on this video. The next video will show how you replace those handles? 🤣
Thanks for posting. This was very helpful.

why stop there, your slave cylinder is just as bad and it's calling for a rebuild.
True that. I needed to flush the entire linked system.
I bought the hand pump cheap harbor freight it works don't have to keep pumping lever it sucks it out.
That's the way to do it. I had that HF one and it worked well but one day stopped building vacuum. I definitely need another one
Bad clutch fluid is a great way to toast a clutch
Amen!

That's crazy, I have never experienced that before but I will keep it in mind for the next time I am working around the clutch on this bike.
Should have rebuilt the slave cylinder and the clutch cylinder too
@@raykirchdorfer5452 why, when the bike only had less than 10k miles on the clock at the time, and there were no issues with it since
Linda la motora! Y el color.

Could be the cilinder too...
@@91047 correct. I was trying to stay optimistic 😀
Thanks much 🤗
Nice video bro 👍
Que lindo! Great video!
Hey buddy
What exhaust you have on the bike?
Hey Janos, 👋 that's a Delkevic slip on that came with the bike when I purchased it.
