rideblue1 Posted February 10, 2009 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.
Guest ratchethack Posted February 10, 2009 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.
gstallons Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Why do you need to know the volume? I fill it up to just below the top.

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.
