Description of Defect :

Description of the Defect :

The hydraulic clutch system with secondary clutch actuator part numbers

37200131 and 37200131A on the subject motorcycles may exhibit an internal

leak of fluid past the secondary clutch actuator piston/seal. If this leak

continues for an extended period, the clutch master cylinder reservoir could

lose enough fluid to expose the hydraulic clutch circuit to air, which may result

in the inability to generate enough lift to disengage the clutch.
