Mate, you are the best. I did it this morning on my Ducati Monster 750. 40min later the cluch is like brand new. Though I missed the last trick but for the first time Im quitye impressed. Thanks again 8-))))
Trying to get the same results with my bike, but the flow out of the tubing is slow as molasses. I've bled it til it's clear as water, still have super slow flow. Yours seems to be shooting out. Any idea?
sure, depending on how old the bike is the bleeder is more than likely pluged and needs a wire ran through it. Remove it and see what you get for resistance then. If it flows well clean the bleeder or get a new one. Next step is to crack lines loose and find the obstruction.
Thanks you so much for this detailed posting. I took my 2003 VTX 1800 out for the first ride of 2011 over the weekend. I noticed, right away, the clutch was spongy and shifting was diffucult at best…nearly impossible at other times. I figured I had air in the clutch line. I followed your video and from start to finish the whole process took me about an hour, including reassembly and clean up. The old brake fluid in the line came out thick and was the color of watered down coffee. Tom V.
Thanks!! Good video!

I see a lot of people stress the air bubbles...I'm wondering what do bubbles in the clutch system do?? I'm new to bikes by the way

Thanks for the video. I love to learn to do things for myself and see how my vehicles work. My clutch works a lot better now.

just bought a bike last weekend with a low clutch. Saved me a trip to the mechanic. Was cold outside but got it done. Thank you for the video
