I flushed my clutch fluid today (raining out) and couldn't find any pic's of how much fluid should be in the master cylinder. Service manual is lacking on how much, it just says don't overfill ( no kidding ). Anyway there is a little flat spot in there and that's where i set the level at. I think it will be fine ,but just wondering if there is a specfic level ? Thanks !

 

I normally fill mine to just 1/2 full (About 1/2 way up the site glass if you have one).

 

Clutch? Master cylinder? I'm confused. But I took some sleep meds as I have to get up early.

 

LOL

Yes, there is a master cylinder for the hydraulic clutch.
Just like you have on your '17 Road Glide

 

It would would have less in it than a brake master cylinder. Unlike brakes as pads wear fluid level decreases in the master cylinder. With the clutch as it wears fluid is pushed up into the master cylinder.

 

Might be close to the blinker fluid if you search long enoough.
Doesnt the brake master cylinder have a line to assist in not overfilling?
Wouldnt the clutch have a line to prevent over filling embossed in it as well?

i don't think there is any mention of this line in the owners manual or the service manual. Unless i just missed it.

 

Clutch has a master and a slave. Brakes have a master and calper.

One I saw has a cast shoulder that has fill. With bike upright, so master is level, fill to it.

Be sure to collapse bellow. That is what allows fluid to go down since system is sealed and air is on top and bellow unfolds. If you tighten cap too tight, it will prevent air from getting to top of bellow
