REFILL HYDRAULIC CLUTCH
|
I recently bought a 1986 honda interceptor that was slowly leaking
clutch oil. I was wondering how I refill the clutch resevoir/fluid
(actually more WHERE do I put the new oil) and if I needed really
complicated tools. It looks like I can do it with a wrench and some
tubes but I'm not exactly sure how.

On something that old I'd strip the brake and clutch cylinders, replace
the hoses, replace any worn parts, put everything back together and put
in fresh fluid.

You definitely want to pull the slave cylinder and replace its seals.
The leaking hydraulic fluid can damage the clutch-push-rod seal
(presuming the VF700F/R clutch set-up is the same as the VF700S/C).
Those nipples you're looking at are for bleeding the system, not adding
fluid. You'll need to do that after you rehab the slave.

Unscrew the cap of the reservoir - usually held on with four screws.
Fill to level mark.
Erm, you'd be better off trying to find out why it's leaking and fix the
leak.
