Kind of an odd introduction thread but ill play along
First off welcome to the site. As to sight glass I assume your talking about the oil sight glass right? I've never needed to clean the sight glass but if I did I would remove the clutch cover and scrub it with a brush and some solvent from the inside. Overall it wouldn't be hard to do but you would need to know how to line up the shifter shaft when to bolt the cover back on. I could say exactly how its done but I know it wouldn't be had to just figure out. I'd suggest looking into it before hand so you have a better idea of what's going on while your taking it apart. |

Welcome!
Before you do anything, what compells you to ask why you need to clean it?

And reason why i want to clean it is because i had a bit of white oil that formed from condensation and now the sight glass is a bit blurry. |

Yeah buts that's cold oil, try running it for a 100 miles or so then check again. If it won't clear up then you have to remove the cover like I said oringinaly but I doubt that's necessary.

drain the oil, buy a new clutch cover gasket (they ALWAYS tear), remove the clutch cover, apply undiluted simple green generously and let soak for 10 minutes before scrubbing with an old toothbrush, rinse, dry, replace cover with new gasket, put in oil.

I believe that the manual says to use water. Or simple green could work too.
