I have a honda shadow 750 1986

Second season that i have noticed that the clutch fluid is low. What should i be looking for to fix, cause i dont see a leak of any sort?

TY

If you don't see the leak, than it is probably internal to the slave cyl. I have had many hydraulic hondas, and if you don't see any fluid outside, than its time to rebuild the slave cyl... not hard to do.... not too $$ either... would have to look at a manual for specifics, but all the hondas I have seen are pretty much the same...pull the hose off, remove the bolts, pull the cyl, replace the rubbers and put it back together, the only tricky part is bleeding the system...start at the master cyl (on the bars), then open the bleed valve on the slave cyl... with the cover open on the master cyl, slowwwwwwwly pump the clutch lever letting the air bubble out of the line... once the master is bled, and the line and slave cyl. are full then its pretty much self bleeding from there. Any questions give me a buzz here or email me.... nothing to it.

Did rebuilding the slave cylinder work?
