rideblue1 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 My 2001 V11 was parked up yesterday for a couple of hours and some gob*hite helped themselves to the cap from the top of the clutch fluid reservoir. Are these caps a pretty universal size across bikes fitted with hydraulic clutches or do sizes vary? I know I can send off for the Guzzi part but I need to keep my bike on the road in the meantime. Any advice would be appreciated,thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuzziMoto Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I don't have the measurement for you, but I would bet that any modern Italian bike with a Brembo clutch master would use the same size res. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stockport claret Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Just been and measured mine and it's a 35mm thread cap. I you are near an Aprilia dealer then they should be able to get them. The Tuono looks like it has the same size reservoirs as the Guzzi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
