Changing the clutch fluid (Ducati Monster 696)

Warning! Clutch fluid will damage painted surfaces if spilled on them. In addition, it is very harmful in contact with the skin or with the eyes; in the event of accidental contact wash the affected area with abundant running water.

Undo the screws (3) and remove the cover and membrane (1) from the clutch fluid reservoir (2).

Attach a length of transparent plastic tubing to the bleed valve (4) and insert the other end of the tubing in a container placed on the floor.

Siphon off the fluid from the reservoir (2).

Fill the reservoir (2) with new clutch fluid up to the MAX mark.

Operate the clutch lever two or three times until the circuit is pressurized.

Hold the lever pulled in towards the handgrip.

Open the bleed valve (3) to allow fluid to escape.

Warning! During the filling operation, always keep the fluid level above the MIN mark to prevent the formation of air bubbles in the circuit.

Allow the fluid to flow from the bleed valve (4) until it changes colour. Tighten the bleed valve (4) to the specified torque (Frame torque settings) and top up the reservoir fluid level.
