Did mine tonight, went smooth without a hitch, i`ll post pics in the morning, what I used and maybe a how to in the D.I.Y sec. You should have seen the colour of the sh*t that came through, bloody hell. Where does it all come from?

 

Seals mostly -- the poor abused seals. You're lucky greenpeace didn't come knocking on your door A small amount of spooge can also get by the oil seal (from the actuator rod) at the slave cylinder.

Now which thang did you use -- was it the screw-on doo-dad (speedbleeder?) that acts as a one way valve?

 

Was the speed bleeding device sort of home made with a one way valve, pics to follow and write up it`s dry so i`m off out for a play.

 

Here Ya go see if this makes sense to ya.....................

How To.......

Feedback Appreciated.

 

Bump*

 

Nice write up and pics. Have ya noticed a big difference in feel or is it about the same?

 

Thanks, Seems better on the actual lever, only a minor improvement though. Apparently it falls in line with all the other servicable items so i should be doin it every 4k oops, o well done now at 11k so not suprised with the amount of dirt that came through.

Hey guys...

Hope everyone is doing well. I have a similar issue with bleeding the clutch line. (051000RR)

Last year I had the same problem with accumulating air in the clutch line that preventing me from engaging gears. Last year it was fairly simple with resolving the issue.

This year - not so easy. I have followed the instructions provided on this post, but with no success. I believe I have eliminated all the air from the line, however I am NOT getting any pressure build up regardless of what I do.

Basically, I engage the clutch, make sure the reservoir on the handle bar is at it's highest level with fluid, then I take my other hand and open up the value at the bottom near the shifter. I do this several times, but with no success. No increase in pressure/resistance with the clutch lever.

I have no idea what is wrong or what to do. Please help.

Thanks in advance!
