Honda CBF

Clutch fluid capacity & service interval

Honda CBF uses clutch fluid with a capacity range defined by min and max values. Service intervals include checking at 6000 km and changing at 18000 km or 24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
CBF 1000 F/FA/FT/FS (2013-2016)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Check 6000 km
  • Change 18000 km/ 24 months
CBF 1000 F/FA/FT/FS (2006-2012)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Check 6000 km
  • Change 18000 km/ 24 months

Additional Notes

  • The Honda CBF 1000 F/FA/FT/FS uses a hydraulic clutch system across both the 2006-2012 and 2013-2016 model ranges, meaning clutch engagement is controlled by fluid pressure rather than a mechanical cable.
  • For the 2006-2012 CBF 1000 F/FA/FT/FS, the correct fluid level sits between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, which is the standard service fill reference rather than a measured volume capacity.
  • The 2013-2016 CBF 1000 F/FA/FT/FS carries identical clutch fluid level specifications to the earlier generation, with the acceptable range defined by the same min-to-max reservoir markings.
  • A check interval of every 6,000 km applies to both the 2006-2012 and 2013-2016 configurations under normal use conditions, indicating how frequently the fluid level should be inspected without necessarily performing a full fluid change.
  • The change interval for clutch fluid on both model ranges is set at 18,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger format reflects that hydraulic fluid degrades over time through moisture absorption regardless of mileage accumulated.
