06:02 am | Steve, you sure don't give much information. What kind of help are you looking for? Do you want someone to bleed the clutch for you or are you looking for information on how to bleed the clutch or are you having a problem with it? Don't be lazy. Include some more information.

02:16 pm | Sorry James I need to know how to flush & bleed the clutch fluids. I was checking all the fluids and noticed it was low. Fact is very low like none hardly. I think it is like bleeding a cars brakes just want to make sure. |

Start with a full master cylinder and use like 7Lbs vac to ease fluid out of system, When the fluid comes out clear top off the master cylinder and your done. Make sure your fittings are tight, and check hoses for aging and leaks. |

03:33 pm | Steven you may not even need the mighty vac, I don`t bother, take the reservoir cap off, clean the reservoir well, fill with new Dot 3 or 4 brake fluid, now put the drain hose on the bleeder fitting and open it up, if it is like mine it will slowly self drain making filling a one man job. |

04:20 pm | Steve, now that you have asked a question, The answer is, If the fluid is low, you most likely have a leak at the clutch slave cylinder. To check and see, place the bike on the side stand and borrow one of your wife's small mirrors. Then get a flash light and place the mirror on the floor under the rear portion of the motor just in front of the center stand pivot. Shine the light into the mirror so it reflects on the rear of the engine. (that is where the slave cylinder is). you will be able to look into the mirror and see if it has been leaking. If so, Call Jim Venne at Venco Wings and have him send you a rebuild kit. Just bleeding the clutch if you have a leak will not cure your low fluid problem but it will go out on you at a later date. Albert, You do not use Dot 3 fluid in the clutch or brakes on a Gold Wing. You can use Dot 3/4 Synthetic (like Valvoline) but not Dot 3. The boiling point of dot 3 is too low.
