Alright all.............:thumbup

Just tried to reverse bleed my clutch but it aint happening!! I've sucked the reservoir out and cleaned it, i have a clean syringe and clear tube filled with fresh fluid. Attach the tube to the nipple on the MPL slave and attach the spanner to the 14mm nut on the banjo bolt, open and slowly squeeze the syringe but it's just dripping out the slave and running down the inside of the fairing?????????????????

what the f*ck am i doing wrong??????
 
Put the syringue on the mpl slave andi and pull back on the syringe thus pulling fluid from the MC resovoir to the slave you will see **** loads of air bubbles come out of it.
Dont let the level drop in the resovoir below min tho.

You need to loosen the bleed nipple 8mm spanner i think not the banjo bolt
 
You have to slightly pull on the lever to allow the fluid to be pushed up in to the reservoir. :eatcorn

I found this out purely by accident. :dunno

Once I had finished with the syringe bleeding I topped up the reservoir and then bled it the normal way too. I then tied the lever to the bar overnight and hey presto a clutch that feels like it should. :doug
