Bleeding Clutch ?

Featured Replies

Trying to bleed the clutch on a gas gas 125, and can't get a single bit feeling in the lever. It seems to have fluid moving thru it, but no pressure whatsoever in the lever.

Is there something we are missing or something we aren't doing that we should be ??

Have you tried back bleeding it from the slave cylinder up to the master cylinder, I had the same problem with mine, took ages to do, Have you used the correct oil as well?

Take the top off the reservoir and you should get a spit as you work the lever into the bars and release.

If you get bubbles in the fluid there is air in the system.

Best to get someone who knows to show you how to do it, it's easy enough when shown but more difficult to explain in words on here.

you have 3 possible problems you could be facing, year/age of bike?

1. I mean the master cylinders have Kits available, because the rubbers wear out. (wont pump fluids because seals leak, they are just o-rings).

2. then an incorrectly adjusted levers, can cause your clutch/brakes master cylinder's plunger, to not be able to come clear back to the "at rest" where it gets another gulp of fluid.

3. It can be also because of "dirt" that has got behind that little rubber "umbrella" shaped seal, that umbrella dirt seal, is a beyotch to get in place, that is at the master cylinder.

if you have a lot of AIR, in the line, you wont get any clutch and it takes thousands of pumps (it seems) to get the air out, on a good day... So, it is easier to push fluid in from down at the case, it is called reverse bleeding, if you need help you might be able to google for the concept. what you do is get a syringe, some places sell these for automobiles, get that, and small clear hose that can go on the bleeding nipple really really tightly.. you then push fluid up to master. you must NOT push air bubbles when you do this, so there is a trick to it, as always. But most can figure this out.
