So my clutch cover is leaking for sure but thats not the same oil using in the clutch line is it? anyway My clutch went out completely today and I come home to find that the resevoir is empty. Also I have DOT 3 fluid available but it says DOT 4. Is there that much of a difference that I should just go back into town to get DOT 4? |

Scott, The clutch is a wet clutch that uses the engine oil for lubrication. The clutch cable is totally separate. You need to use DOT 4 is the manual calls for it. The question is, why is your clutch fluid reservoir dry? There is a bulletin (or perhaps recall) on leaky clutch covers. You should ask your dealer about it. |

If you got a leaky clutch, your master cylinder will eventually empty and let air into the line. |

are the parts to fix the leaky clutch cover a warranty or recall part? |

What if it looks like the bike was dropped on that side, the puck has slight abrasions on it. I dont actually know what happened to it, it was there when i bought it. |

Same. Show up. Pop off the puck, mention the updates on the parts and they should do it no problem. |
