rideblue1 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Does anybody know the capacity of the handlebar mounted clutch reservoir? I think it's 15cl but would like to know for sure,thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ratchethack Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Measuring the outside, I get ~3 cm dia and 2.5 cm height. where π = pi, π x r^2 x (height of cylinder) = volume π x (~1.5 cm)^2 x 2.5 cm = ~17.7 cc Dropping out an estimate for the volume of the thickness of the reservoir, it would likely be ~15 cc, or 1.5 cl to the MAX line. One o' you math whizzes kindly check this, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Why do you need to know the volume? I fill it up to just below the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a replacement cap and I can get a brembo one from a ducati which is a 15cl size and should do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ratchethack Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Apologies.......RATCHETHACK..... Por nada, mi compadre. I need a little math exercise once in awhile on stuff like this. . . NOTE: I b'lieve you'll find the capacity is 1.5 cl, (15 cc) -- NOT 15 cl, per calculation above. There's an order o' magnitude difference. Good luck.

Greg Field Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It's a 15cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
