Default Bleeding Clutch Master Cylinder

Just a quick thanks to all who have posted about bleeding the clutch master cylinder.
I have bled many brakes and cluthes and never had so much trouble getting pedal/lever pressure. I rekitted the master cylinder and did the usual bleed several times over and had no pressure. After trolling through many posts I tried pulling in the handle and strapping it in to leave overnight. No joy. This morning I decided to reverse bleed with a 100ml syringe and a bit of irrigation hose that was the right size. I put a full 100ml through the system and sucked out excess from the MC as needed with a spare syringe. WIN!
I cant remember who posted about reverse bleeding (i read so many posts) but thanks.

Have a link to that? I'm not familiar with reverse bleeding. I'd love a speedbleeder on my Fireblade's clutch but I don't have the dimensions of the bleed screw.
