Hello, my name is Logan. I had put on a new clear clutch cover on my bike. Clutch felt stiff, the fluid disappears causing an air pocket in the line. I bleed it out of the clutch master cylinder, and I was trying to bleed the fluid near the shifter. However all of the fluid is just going out of the clutch reservoir. Could it be leaking into the engine? I’ve used a half bottle of fluid and it doesn’t seem to be leaking anywhere else. Any ideas?
 
Did you make sure the plates are in there correctly? there’s one that is finicky to get it to seat properly, and will make it to where your clutch will be stiff and not be able to engage/disengage.

Yes, the last plate fell off I put it back. Double checked to make sure I put everything back. My question is why is so much clutch fluid going in and where would it go? Would it possibly leak in the engine/oil?
