Author Message   Iamarchangel Posted on Sunday, July 29, 2012 - 11:18 pm:        Clutch was acting up today so I checked the reservoir window and it's low. Figure on topping it up so I scope out what needs to be done. Surprise! Previous owner was a butcher. The reservoir screws are screwed. One has been worn right down by a wrong size screwdriver, the other, well, you can see where he used a punch to take it off. So, questions: who uses that type reservoir as in Ducati, Yamaha, Triumph (which is the nearest dealer)? And, if I have to go to HD, what is the part number for the two screws? Thanks   Father_of_an_era Posted on Sunday, July 29, 2012 - 11:58 pm:        I would imagine that you can take the chewed screw to you local hardware/auto parts store and match it up.   Jdugger Posted on Monday, July 30, 2012 - 10:09 am:        It's an M4, I believe. I went to a taper head hex drive screw so they don't strip out so easily. The problem with the res screws is they get tighter over time, so even if you are gentle putting them in, they will be tight coming out, and phillips suck.
