bleeding clutch?

RE: bleeding clutch?
Remove the left side plastic. Turn the wheel hard left, unscrew the master cylinder screws, hold cover down by hand. Turn wheel hard right, remove cover. Remove old fluid and clean out the resevoir. Refill resevoir with new DOT 4 fluid (not old opened shelf stored stuff). At the clutch, remove bleeder cover (little rubber nipple) and use a socket (correct size!) to "break open" the bleeder screw, re tighten lightly...install a wrench of the correct size on the bleeder screw, also put a tube over the bleeder to drain old fluid away if you don't want to get all messy.
1. Pump the clutch lever a couple times and hold it down. (Your resevoir should be full of new fluid)
2. Crack the bleeder and you'll see fluid drain. CONTINUE TO HOLD CLUTCH LEVER DOWN!
3. Close the bleeder.
4. Refill resevoir as needed.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 untill the fluid comes out clean.
So basically its: pump, hold, bleed, seal, pump, hold, bleed, seal.......

I use a mity vac and it works great! I do hold the brake lever down for a few minutes after to let any air escape that might be in the master cylinder. Then ride hard!
Also it's not "just like bleeding the brakes" The later 1000F has linked brakes and there is a definite procedure to getting all the air out of a linked system.

I probably shouldn't resurrect an old thread, but this one helped me change my clutch fluid a few minutes ago. Once you have clear fluid coming out the bleeder, don't be surprised if the clutch is still useless. Close the bleeder, make sure the reservoir is full, and squeeze the clutch repeatedly until it works. Mine took several dozen squeezes before the pressure came up. Tiny bubbles/In the master cylinder . . . .
