Bimota Tesi 3D

Clutch fluid capacity & service interval

Bimota Tesi 3D requires clutch fluid. Service intervals include 1000 km/ 6 months, 12000 km/ 12 months, and 36000 km/ 36 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Bimota Tesi 3D uses a hydraulic clutch system, meaning clutch engagement is controlled through fluid pressure rather than a mechanical cable.
  • Fluid level maintenance for the hydraulic clutch system is expressed as a range rather than a fixed volume, with the accepted fill sitting between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir.
  • Under normal use conditions, the clutch fluid level is due for inspection at 12,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • The change interval under normal use conditions extends to 36,000 km or 36 months, meaning a full fluid replacement is required at three times the frequency of a routine level check.
  • An initial service check is specified at 1,000 km or 6 months, a significantly shorter interval than the standard 12,000 km check that follows in normal use.
  • The initial service entry carries no fluid change interval, only a level check, distinguishing early inspection from the full service cycle that applies afterward.
