CLUTCH AIR BLEEDING
Any air which may have been trapped in the clutch
fluid circuit must be bled completely.
If the clutch lever feels spongy or weak, then most
likely there is air in the hydraulic circuit.
Bleed the clutch fluid circuit in the same manner as the
brake air bleeding procedure.
NOTE:
Do not drop clutch fluid level below lower level
line while bleeding air.
After bleeding the clutch fluid circuit, tighten the
bleeder valve to the specified torque.
Replace the rubber protective cap.
Be sure to check the fluid level in the reservoir tank.
