Pull in the clutch lever to test the hydraulic pressure in the clutch system. Continue bleeding the clutch slave cylinder, if the brake fluid is dark or if there are air gaps or debris in the tubing. Ideally, the brake fluid will be clear and light amber in color. Inspect the color and condition of the brake fluid caught in the plastic tubing, as well as trapped air bubbles or debris. Repeat until there is less than 2 mm of brake fluid in the fluid reservoir.
Tighten the bleed valve with your wrench, then slowly release the clutch lever to draw fresh brake fluid into the clutch hose. Loosen the bleed valve with your 8 mm box wrench a quarter-turn to force brake fluid and trapped air out of the clutch slave cylinder and into the plastic tubing. Pump the clutch lever 5 to 6 times, then pull in the clutch lever and hold it in place. Refill the fluid reservoir with DOT 3 brake fluid. Set the free end of the tubing into a plastic container. Place an 8 mm box wrench over the bleed valve, then push a 3-foot length of clear plastic tubing over the bleed valve outlet. Pull the rubber dust cover off the bleed valve, located on the top of the clutch slave cylinder. Repeat until there is less then 2 mm of brake fluid within the clutch master cylinder, then remove your wrench and wipe away any spilled brake fluid.įollow the clutch hose from the clutch master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder, located on the left side of the engine crankcase. Loosen the banjo bolt a quarter-turn, using your wrench, to force out any air trapped within the clutch master cylinder. Pump the clutch lever 5 to 6 times, then pull the lever all the way in and hold it in place. Wrap a shop towel over the banjo bolt and your wrench. Place a 12 mm box wrench over the banjo bolt attaching the clutch hose to the clutch master cylinder. Fill the fluid reservoir to three-quarters of its maximum capacity with DOT 3 brake fluid.
Pull the inner diaphragm out of the fluid reservoir by hand, then suck out the old brake fluid with a syringe. Remove the fluid reservoir lid from the clutch master cylinder, using a Phillips screwdriver.
