V4 Chain And Clutch Adjustment V4 Multistrada ?

I just bleed the clutch with the one on the slave cylinder, not sure why there's one up top too, I'm sure someone will tell us.

 

Yes, I agree, the manual contradicts itself, I settled for the finger pushing down and holding while checking the measurements
But that's just my guess

 

Chain tension check is push the chain down firmly, release and measure.
Most issues with the clutch come from air in the master cylinder. Air rises up the system. Bleeding at the master solves 99% of any issues.

 

Re the Chain, the Ducati supplied guide setting is for the bike on its side stand and switched off. I set mine up in this way and then re-check on the centre stand (if you have one), mark the guide with the centre stand setting and then use that to check and adjust when on the centre stand - so much easier that way. Agreed that it needs a firm push down and then release and do that at different points in the chain to find any tight spots.

 

The clutch fluid has gone cloudy after 4000 miles. I have now done 7000 miles and the clutch is working perfectly; but i'm going to change it. As I want to replace all the fluid I intend to bleed the fluid from the slave cylinder as bleeding from the master cylinder would only replace the fluid in the reservoir. Have I got this right ?

 

Clutch fluid routinely discolours in a relatively short period of time. It doesn’t seem to affect the performance of the fluid at all. You are correct in your assumption, bleeding from the slave cylinder will flush the old fluid out. Andy

 

Thanks Andy. I will leave it alone and get the dealer to change it at the 9000 mile service

 

My old MS1260s also had to be set to “Urban mode”.

is this the same for MSV4s?
