For those SM folks....

Recently we saw some clutch problems having to do with fluid and shifting. Here is a quick check for that. There is a small cover ...144796 this cover has a weep hole but you can also take it off for confirmation. 144797 mine was leaking and running low on fluid making shifting sometimes difficult. Decided to wash the engine and change the o rings. Caution on this step...you have to hold the center screw with a 5mm Allen while you loosen the 17mm nut. If you don't you will damage the diagram for the vacuum assist system...144798 then pump the lever and the piston will pop or fly out best to have a towel over that area. Clean all parts change o rings reassemble and refill and bleed. 144799 all is well once again....:thumbup:

Chupaca, thanks for the post, you always seem to offer a lot of very good experience and I thank you for that.

On another note I would like to say that you seem much wiser than your picture implies. :roflblack::roflblack::opps:
