just like your brakes really, cept that allen head on the end of the cable on the master cly on the case is the bleed hole

fill it up, pump it a ton, and hold the lever, and release the screw, and tighten it up fast again, if you do it to slow, the rezzie will drain and you will have to start again, its kind of a pain in the @ss, once you get it done, you will love the clutch

If you thought it was a scam, why did you buy it? Try reading the instructions i included with the bleed kit.

Just like I described... I sold it to you. 155.50 and 5.00 shipping isn't a bad deal since i paid 199.90 for the clutch, 49.00 for the SST line, and 19.00 for the unopened magura bleed kit which also contains the bleed instructions. I paid total $267.90 for the whole deal and it stayed on my quad for 35 minutes in my garage only. I dont SCAM anybody.

One tip to help you out. Heat up the mineral oil slightly. Put the bottle in front of the furnance for a little while. With the oil heated up it will make bleeding it alot easier. ;)

Sorry Fastrax, I wasn't trying to say that anybody was scaming, I'm just surprized I won, I just put in a low bid for it.d. I been think about getting one for a couple of months now, but I though theres was better way I need to spend my money right now. I need a swingarm more than a sweet clutch. But I couldn't pass the deal.

But any ways Thanks for the clutch. You gave a great deal, You sent it very fast. I probly thinking you wanted to see more for the clutch, and I surprized you didn't get more. I just glad $5 covered the shipping. I didn't know how it was so I geussed. I will put in a word at ebay for yeah.



Thansk david.

if it has a bleed kit like he said use that it makes it so much easier,use the seringe to push fluid from th end of the hose back up to the master, its fairly easy.other wise it can be done with out the bleed kit just do what that other guy said pump the lever and crack the allen bolt that holds the line to the slave.
