Flushing/Changing the Clutch Fluid in a 2005 Honda VTX 1800

[@nathanstanley7002]

Thanks so much for the quick but informative how to video. I just got my Clymer book the other day after searching for a while on how to videos. I will be checking out your other VTX videos.

Thanks for watching and happy riding.

Thanks video was very helpful.

[@funbro1]

Glad it was helpful!

I still have the Honda VTX? If so, have you done a coolant change? Would love to see that.

Can I just add Dot 4 to master cylinder if low and wait until next shop maintenance appointment

[@donovancartwright9276]

What type of glue did you use to hold the small rubber gaskets in place? Thanks!

[@funbro1]

I didn't use any glue. Thanks for watching.

[@tommidd8042]

What about the fluid and water in actuator's piston? That old stuff is still in there.

[@gabrielchaparro1698]

Gravity drain: Is it as efficient without the Harbor Freight compressor bleeder or is it absolutely necessary?

[@funbro1]

It can be done either way, just quicker and easier this way. Thanks for watching.

[@Mark-cj9ju]

So you filled the clutch fluid with break fluid?

[@funbro1]

Yes, the Honda recommended brake fluid. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

[@kokobeatz7222]

Always use dot 4

Great video i seem.to have a whinong noise when i slow down its fine going up throug the gears but slowing down around 30 mph i feel it bike has just had a full service any advice would be most appreciated.

[@funbro1]

I'm not sure about this one. I would need to see what is going on before making a guess. Thanks for watching.

Es líquido que usaste para el embrague del cluch hidráulico , es el mismo que usas para el líquido de los frenos ?? ... Estoy en lo correcto??? Si estoy en lo correcto me puedes informar que liquido es ?

[@funbro1]

I just used the recommended brake fluid for the year and model that I have. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.

[@kb9gkc]

Well Done!

[@funbro1]

Thanks for watching, happy riding.

Can the clutch fluid be drained without the vacuum bleeder?

[@funbro1]

Yes, it takes a little longer and it will be easier with 2 people. You will need to add a piece of tubing to the end of the fitting once the cover is removed. Then have someone apply pressure to the clutch handle, while pressure is applied using a wrench loosen the fitting and allow fluid to flow through the tubing to a bucket or can. Once flow stops immediately tighten fitting prior to releasing the clutch handle. (Not doing so will "suck" air into the system). Repeat the process until fluid is clean and clean making sure not to run low on fluid. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for watching.

Does this work on a Honda valkyrie rune

[@funbro1]

Should be very similar. Thanks for watching.

@@funbro1 thanks

[@shinyshiny9]

What you’re flushing and changing is the brakes fluid ??? I thought the clutch share the engine oil as it fluid ? Hence wet clutch ? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

[@funbro1]

Not necessary wrong about the wet clutch but the term wet clutch refers to the plates inside the engine. See this video for more details kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZfEmoqcZtyIoKM . In this video I am simply changing the fluid that pushes the clutch plates apart, which is brake fluid not oil, 2 different things in 2 different areas, and the 2 cannot mix. Hope this explains things, thanks for watching.
