Even years after uploading it , this video helps alot! I got my first dirtbike used so i had to change the clutch fluid and after failing to reverse bleed it with a syringe your method worked great!
regular mineral oil bleeds so much easier in these clutches...however, it does make your clutch pull ridiculously hard compared to magura mineral oil. its good to have some baby oil in a pinch tho. i had that issue a few years ago at an event.
Thanks for the video, it was a huge help. Leaning the bike over as far as possible was the key I was looking for. Also, just letting the lever snap back after a pump helped bring out lots of bubbles. 10 mins after this method and I was done, no syringe.
I have a ktm 450 and I bleed my clutch and it gets hard like it should be then 5 minutos later gets super soft and idk why I keep bleeding it and it does the same thing
If you get copper washers, the best way to get an oil tight seal is to anneal the washers, which is what needs to be done to copper head gaskets. You simply heat the washer with a butane torch (hold the washer with needle point pliers or similar), the color will change and it will turn matt with no gloss, then drop the washer in water. The scale will drop off. Annealed copper is very pliable and allows you to torque up the washers, they will go hard over time and give a very oil tight seal.
Great bleeding technique. I was peeking around looking at what people are doing. I have a husky te150 with low hours and clutch drags. Won’t fully disengage. Started with bleeding.
