How hard is it to change the clutch fluid? and how often do you change yours?

Mine looks kinda dirty...

You would bleed the sysem with DOT 4 brake fluid.. basically just like you would bleed you brakes. You should have a bleed screw on your clutch cover (or whatever it's called) down by the front sprocket

Yep. The most troublesome part of that job should be removing and installing the plastics. There's not much to it.

Super simple, but it helps to have the right tools.

Loosen up the nipple, note that brake fluid melts paint so be clean.

Suck all the fluid out with one of these.

Yep, with a Mityvac and 8mm wrench what Tim is showing you in pics pretty simple & easy. With plastics off it's as easy as putting gas it the tank but can also be done fairly easy with plastics still on bike also. Easy Peasy :thumbsup:
