Clutch Fluid Replacement Thruxton R

Not familiar with that model but ordinarily the reservoir will be fitted on the left handlebar slap bang next to the lever....

 

....assuming it is in fact a hydraulic clutch. If there is a big adjuster screw that goes into the end of the lever, you have a cable operated clutch, so no reservoir

 

That will be engine oil .
Maybe it's best if you get a mechanic to do the job . Get a manual and read up on it, will help you in the future

 

Upload a picture showing your clutch lever and perch (the bit that fastens it to the handlebars)?

There is no fluid at the handlebar end to operate a cable clutch, only an hydraulic one.

 

Worth getting the haynes manual it gives step by step instructions on clutch cable adjustment, removal replacement etc and cover removal.
When I damaged a cover on an old sports bike i leant the bike far over so removal of a cover caused less spillage With help of a friend to lean the bike.

 

@Camran for what bit of effort it takes drain the oil, get a new clutch cover gasket and give yourself an easier time. You might consider putting new oil in. But if you do this, you are clearly a bit of a tyro, so be careful replacing the sump plug. You don't need to tighten it until the veins in your neck stick out-treat youself to a torque wrench. You'll still be quids in compared to paying some gibbon at the garage and you'll have a nice addition to your toolkit....

 

Good luck...

 

It has a cable clutch, there is only a fluid reservoir for the front and rear braking system. The clue should have been at the clutch lever with no sign of a hydraulic hose only a visible cable.

 

Get a mechanic to work on your bike

 

Agreed, would have thought that was obvious from a quick glance at the handlebar clutch lever.

 

@Camran Seems you got of to a rough start. But mate we all started somewhere. Your clutch is cable operated. Feel the lever and adjust that screw so you have a ml or two free play on your lever job done. That screw on your clutch case is just a gimmick. When you do an oil change it supplies both engine and clutch. Remember when changing your oil to fill to the level. Then run the engine for a couple of minutes then let it settle for a while then recheck the level via the looking glass or dipstick and top back up to the level As it will drop from the engine filling up the bits like oil filter which is on the belly of the engine as is the drain screw. Hope this helps. And welcome to the family.

 

i would recommend that you fill the new oil filter with oil before screwing it onto the sump. Also a smear of oil on both mating faces of the rubber O ring that sits in the groove in the oil filter will facilitate its removal at the next oil change.
