Title: Clutch reservoir air
Post by: PA DL on October 13, 2018, 04:45:42 AM

I rerouted my clutch line and changed the fluid.
Think I got a perfect bleed after using one of the trick found here at the forum, letting the clutch leaver be fully depressed 24 hours after the fluid change.
My question is, should I press out the air below the reservoir membrane?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181013/3d823d2d9e943e467a0c1f888703cd08.jpg)

Not sure that it matters, but I would.

I would just fill it to the max line and move on. There's always going to be a little bit of air in the reservoir but it won't get into the lines unless you turn your bike upside down [laugh]

My manual says 3 mm above the min mark.
Im more thinking about the hydroschopic behavior of our the brake fluid.

Unless you purge it with Argon, or Nitrogen, there will always be a little moisture in the airspace. If you flush your fluids annually it won't matter.

I think you're over thinking this one.
