Okay so I bled my clutch because the res was lookin really nasty. I guess maybe I bled it too much because now the new fluid doesn't drain through. Maybe the line filled with air?? How can I get the line to fill? My clutch is pretty much dead right now. After filling the res I tried pumping the clutch, cracking the cap and then pumping, cracking the valve and then pumping, tying the clutch open over night but still nothing. Any suggestions??
Fluid will only pass throught the master if the lever opens the valve. Air can be trapped in the Banjo fitting near the master. Wrap a rag around it being careful not to get fluid on the plastic since it makes it brittle. Crack the fitting open while you pump it. then you can open the bleeder valve on the bottom near the slave. Just in case this is new its pump squeeze/hold the lever crack the bleeder and close it before the pressure drops off to much. Never release the lever while the system is open.

let me throw in my. I went thru the same thing at the first of the year. I tried bleeding for several days for no reason. I was looking for a nice click into gear, instead of a bang. Well after several attemps thinking thats not right. I took the bike OFF the stand and shifted into first, yes it made a bang- but the motor stayed runnning. So around the block and guess what? Its perfect. So if you think, you have got all of the air out, give it a try.
