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.
FMVSS 1 :
NR
FMVSS 2 :
NR
Description of the Safety Risk :
If this condition remains undetected, it could lead to a loss of control of the
vehicle when started in gear, first shifted into gear, or coming to a stop.
Description of the Cause :
An internal leak of fluid past the secondary clutch actuator piston/seal.
Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur :
In vehicles in which this condition is present, the fluid level in the clutch master
cylinder may become low.
