97' VFR 750 Clutch

My clutch ran out of clutch fluid. I had to take off the hose and clean it.
I have replaced it and re filled the clutch fluid box with dot 4 clutch fluid.
Yet there is no pressure on the clutch lever, It's as loose as Japenese subway commuter. There is no pull on it.

Obviously i pumped the clutch lever for a good hour, but it was the same so then I opened the air nipple and pumped for another hour and there still is no pressure, i can hear the air gurgle form the air nipple but the fluid does not seen to be filling the clutch line hose.

Would anyone be able to help with this.

 

Try getting a large vetrinary syringe with a slip bayonet and a piece of tubing. On the center stand, pull the bars full right. Connect the tubing and syringe full of brake fluid to the bleeder at the slave cylinder and push the fluid up to your master cylinder.
You will not waste any fluid and the bubbles will naturally surface in your master reservoir. There will be no need to loosen the banjo fittings to burp the air out.
The whole rig will cost you little and save you untold frustration.

My $0.02

 

Thanks for that vlad, that 2 cents will go a long way.

 

Good idea, one could also break lose the salve bleeder and let it drain slowly making sure you keep the reservoir full while at it then once it looks like it's dripping with no pause meaning no air, then go ahead and re bleed it like you do your brakes.

 

Hi RVFR

"By the slave bleeder , you do mean the air nipple, and not the banjos"

Only problem with that is the clutch hose is empty, i removed it to clean it and replaced it, and now the fluid is not going back into the hose, well it might be , but its very very slow. Could be a few days or weeks at tis rate.

 

LOL, slow yea could be, yep the bleeder, or the bajo bolt could be used too for a bit as to speed it up but you should be able to just pour in the fluid and work the lever back and forth that will operate the valve action and move it along faster.

 

before re-attaching line, first bleed air from the mc itself

put a finger over the mc outlet and pump lever until your finger is pushed off.....hold lever down while re-fitting and tightening line.

 

This may help...
