June 2, 20251 yr Newbie here with a 2017 Gas Gas TXT 250. Clutch line leaked out on my ride today 😩 reservoir dry. had to ride back few miles with no clutch. just ordered a new line but how do I change it out? any help please Mahalo in advance!!!🤙
June 2, 20251 yr Determine if your clutch operates on DOT brake fluid or thin Oil Determine if the problem is in the Master cylinder, brake line or Slave cylinder Replace parts and install is fairly easy requiring very few special tools outside of possibly a big plastic medical type syringe similar to in the picture below Easiest way to fluid fill is generally from the bottom bleed vent screw

I managed to ride back to truck. i found a burn mark on line by the exhaust pipe and lower was wet on line towards clutch cover. i opened master cylinder ( mineral oil) and was empty. I just sold my KTM 300 so have changed out my clutch line before but on the Gas Gas do I just unscrew the line from clutch cover and master up top and replace then use syringe to force mineral oil from bottom up? mahalo! riding on Oahu🤙🏾
June 2, 20251 yr 🤙🏾 I was there for a month trying to rent and ride there but sadly it never happened. Terrain looked awesome for trials riding in places I'm sure you're not allowed to ride. Edited June 2, 20251 yr by lemur
June 3, 20251 yr Had this happen to one of my ggs years ago. Once fixed you need to tie the clutch line to one of the down tubes where the exhaust comes out with a zip tie. As for rebleeding, what you have described is correct. There should be a bleed nipple on the banjo where it enters the clutch casing. Just bleed like you would a brake cylinder
