there is very little reason to change the fluid in a hydraulic clutch on your motorcycle, but if you do find a reason it is not that hard. remove the side cover that the clutch linkage is under, consult your owners manual. you should see a fluid line coming into the actuator housing. close by there should be a bleeder valve. this is typically used to bleed air from the pressurised system. remove the reservoir cover. open the bleed screw by turning it counter clockwise. gently squeeze the clutch lever catching the oil in a suitable container. observe as you squeeze, the level of oil going down. once empty wipe out reservoir with a clean rag. close the bleeder, refill the reservoir with the proper fluid and bleed the air from the system.
According to most owners manuals, every 2 years or as needed.

Suck the clutch fluid out of the resovoir with a machine or vacula system. Then add new clutch fluid (which is primarily DOT3 brake fluid in most apps). For proper sequence repeat the process and bleed the clutch system ( depending on make/model).

Your VMAX does not use a separate transmission fluid. Your clutch is a wet clutch and uses the same oil as your engine. Use the manufacturers recemmended oil weight, either 10W-40 or 20W-50. I recommend a synthetic that is specially formulated for motorcycle wet clutch applications.
On a 2006 Suzuki Boulevard C50T, the clutch fluid container is located on the right side of the motorcycle, near the handlebars. It is typically housed within the master cylinder assembly, which is mounted on the handlebar. To access it, you may need to remove the cover to check or refill the clutch fluid. Always ensure the bike is on a level surface when checking fluid levels.
To change the clutch fluid in a Kawasaki 1500 Drifter, first locate the clutch reservoir and remove its cover. Using a clean syringe or turkey baster, extract the old fluid from the reservoir. Then, refill it with new hydraulic fluid, typically DOT 4 or the manufacturer-recommended type. Finally, bleed the clutch system by loosening the bleeder valve at the clutch actuator while pumping the lever until no air bubbles appear, then tighten the valve and check the fluid level again.

The VW Beetle does not have clutch fluid. There is not any fluid associated with the clutch. The transmission has transmission fluid.
usually in small resivoir top of handlebars. On the right hand side and the clutch usually takes brake fluid too if they are hydraulic on the left hand side.
