Does the clutch and the front left brake share the same fluid Reservoir?

 

[Hans&Feet]

No.

 

[cubcake1]

No.

So the Reservoir on the right is for the right side, the one on the left is for the left brake, where is the Reservoir for the clutch?

 

[Chicago-Spike]

If it did, every time you shifted you'd be braking.

Left hand lever = Clutch
Right hand lever = Front brake calipers, outside 2 pistons
Foot brake pedal = rear brake caliper and center pistons on front brake calipers. Honda's Linked Braking System

NM Video I watched make it look like it was shared

 

[Mr. Incredible]

[Chicago-Spike]

Rest assured, it is not shared.

Also this information is in the owners manual. Amazing people don't take the time to read and learn.

well to be fair, a lot of people that buy used bikes don't get the owner's manuals. and yes, a little searching online can get you a PDF one, but it's easier to get on a forum and ask than search for a manual.

I'm pretty sure this forum is for fellow VTX bros to help each other out and share experiences, not to treat them as tho they are stupid

One concern I see in the question is we are talking about the VTX 1800, which is not a toy or a beginners bike, its a big bike that was designed for advanced riders.

I know lots of experienced riders that have no technical knowledge and pay shops to do work.

Yes.
It was a dumb question.

But that doesn’t mean there was anything wrong with it. You might have gained some insight into mechanical things. And maybe you helped someone else (who was overly concerned about looking uninformed) learn something too.
