Hi

Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to bleed the clutch?
I know it should be easy.....

I put a pipe on the bleed nipple on the cylinder by the quick shift and started to bleed it just like you bleed a brake..pump the lever then lock the nipple off

After 2 pumps there was no pressure from the lever so I had to then bleed the lever nipple to get pressure back....

I had to keep swapping between them to get the job done..... didn't seem right..

Tips for next time please?
 
Funny that, I just bled mine a couple hours ago cus during the day the bike slowly engaged 1st gear then stalled at the lights, even with the clutch pulled all the way in (only happened once). Researched on forums how to, and found a youtube clip whicih was a bonus. Pretty straight forward:

Thanks that is where I was bleeding at the lever....there is no way I would have just held a cloth over it....if brake fluid drips on the paintwork it's bad news....

That does not clean the whole system tho as there is still fluid in the line down to the clutch actuator
