[QUOTE="mindtrip, post: 1424219, member: 2051"] Thanks for the link! I'm hoping someone can help as I have a new problem. The clutch was working 100% before I bled it. However, it needed a full flush and during that I screwed up and let the reservoir on the handlebar drain completely, so air got into the system. Now, no matter what I do, I can't bleed it enough to get the clutch to work. I put a mityvac on it and there was a TON of air in the drain line, even with barely opening the nipple, so I removed the nipple and wrapped it with teflon tape. Even then I'm getting a ton of air during every attempt to bleed. So I stopped using the mityvac altogether and just used the squeeze-open-close-release method desribed in the service manual, and after another 8-12 oz of fluid run through the system I’m STILL getting a ton of air with each opening if the bleed nipple. The clutch will not fully disengage so even with the clutch lever pulled in, the wheel wants to spin if the bike is in gear. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've put a ton of fluid through it and can't get it to bleed off all air. [/QUOTE]
