Hydraulic clutch system
The hydraulic circuit is composed of a master cylinder with its reservoir located
on the left side of the handlebar, and a piston installed on the left crankcase
half. The clutch is disengaged by the piston (5) that actuates the pushrod (4)
to operate the pressure plate (6). Drive is transmitted from the crankshaft (a)
to the gearbox input shaft (b) via the gear on the clutch housing (8). The clutch
housing accommodates friction plates (9) and steel plates (10) that operate the
clutch hub (11) secured to the gearbox input shaft.
