trailfly Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Help! Damnit! Ok, my clutch won't bleed out and build pressure sufficient to push the clutch rod in. I replaced the mastercylinder rod and rubber parts with new OEM stuff and it still won't bleed. I cleaned the hose out, took off the lower assembly that covers the clutch rod and I couldn't see anything that could prevent it from building pressure, I re-assembled, and the bastard STILL won't bleed. Any clues? Thanks. Trailfly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailfly Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Call off the dogs, I got it. I beleive there was air in the master cylinder. Here is the fix: I pulled the slave off while leaving the hose intact on both the master and the slave. with the cap off off the resivior I used the clutch lever to push the slave forward, and then I returned the slave with my thumb. I repeated this process over and over a few times untill I saw the bubbles diminish. I think that process will effectivley eliminate having to use a vacuum pump to bleed the clutch. Thanks any way! I'm hoping to see some of you all at FIM World Superbike next weekend! Trailfly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
