Bleeding the system (Brake and Clutch) 10 years, 3 months ago #17187

I need to bleed my brakes system, which I have done before so no problem. However, I noticed that clutch seems to pop, so I want to bleed the clutch too. Is there a pattern when you include the clutch too? OR any special methods, etc.?


RR, LR, Clutch, RF, LF?

Thanks

I have done all the calipers and then the clutch and had no issues.

The hydraulic system works the brakes as well as the clutch. It's set up so that when the fluid level starts to drop, you will lose the clutch system first before your brakes. When you bleed just make sure you keep the fluid level topped up or you'll start to suck air into the clutch side of the system, as it draws from the upper part of the reservoir.

I'd also suggest that when you bleed the clutch, just barely crack the bleed nipple. If you open it too far, you'll never keep fluid in the system, and you'll introduce air....

Also, the bleed nipple is 7mm. It can be bled fairly easily without taking off the starter. You can get about a 1/4 -1/3 turn on it.
