Where is my clutch fluid going?

[glvnthedream]

My clutch fluid seems to be disappearing! I am not finding any leaks but after replacing the fluid when I got the bike I find myself having to refill the reservoir. I replaced the fluid and bled the clutch fluid and all seems good for a while. But after a couple weeks the fluid starts showing low again.

Any ideas to find a leak that is not appearing to be leaking. Where the heck is the fluid going??

Thanks in advance.

It may be time to repack the slave cylinder ,as it could be going past that into the transmission

So I should check is my engine oil level is increasing to verify? Is there anything else to check to co firm?

Every job I’m doing on this lady is a first for me.

Thanks

You would be adding such a small % of the total volume ,I do not think you would notice the difference

Is there any other checks to verify the problem??

Yes. Inspect the clutch slave cylinder as Loren suggested. See Chapter 5 of the manual.

Will do. Ordered a rebuild kit. Figured if I am going to pull it apart I might as well do a rebuild. I can only imagine what it's going to look like.

Thanks

Yeah, my guess is that you're gonna need the kit.

[glvnthedream]

That’s affirmative on needing the kit. Oil sightglass nearly full and some nice sludge in the Slave cylinder.

glvnthedream ,Since your clutch fluid looks that bad ,you might also give a good look at your brake systems,and be prepared to rebuild them also

Already rebuilt the calipers and getting brake lines.

Thanks for the help and advice everyone.
