Well

Thanks for the tip Monkey and Joe.. 

Monkey: Those speedbleeders, are they ment to use with compressed air and without using a wrench to open the fittings as usually?

Joe: Yes i will try the manually method as you described, it might give me some luck. I do get fluid through the system, but the fitting on the inside is tricky. When i open it after build up pressure it seems to leak at the base on the fitting. The fluid comes from underneath and up and out through the hole and not through the fitting it self it seems.

Even a tight wad like myself is willing to gamble $7 on a speed bleeder to try and get my clutch half way decent. I'm getting tired of having to nurse first gear in - be great if it cures or improves this action.

Hi Ken,
Put some Teflon plumbers tape on the bleeder.  Also keep the tube full by keeping it elevated above the bleeder.  A vacuum pump also helps to get the air moving sometimes....esp with the clutch slave.  Lots of good u tube videos too.

Ken,

It sounds like that bleeder needs the teflon tape (as Jeff recommended), and also may be blocked with crud.
You can clean it easily with a small wire, and its better to do so from the tip out.

The SB (Speed Bleeders) simplify the old tried and true way of bleeding. The threads are coated to seal them so air cannot get sucked back in. The check valve acts like keeping the end of the tube under the surface of the fluid. It also eliminates the need to loosen, bleeder,  squeeze lever, just as the squeeze is ending tighten bleeder.

It is easier to describe the process with the SB. Install clear tube on bleeder to direct old fluid to waste container. Crack the SB open just a touch, maybe an 1/8 of a turn. Squeeze lever slowly, watch fluid flush out through clear tube into container. Repeat squeezing process till air bubbles are no longer coming out of tube with the fluid. Top off master as needed during this process. When satisfied that bleeding is complete, tighten SB, clean up and ride. No air required, unless you want a fan blowing to keep cool with....

Here is some sealent for speed bleeders if you use them a lot.  Wonder if it would work with old fashion bleeders instead of yellow or red Teflon tape ?

Ken,

Nice job.  You're going to love that GIVI tank bag almost as much as you will hate the white wheels even though they look nice.
Now go and ride that thing.

Yes! That givi tank bag is incredible nice. The only drawback is that the back part of it is sitting/hanging down onto the tank and leaving marks from the fabric thats a pain in the ass to get of when washing the bike.

The white wheels dosent stay white for long, but thats just a reason to wash it

Yes you are quite right Joe, The flare is black and the rest is blue. So thats what you call the duck bill...

Ken, your bag may not be adjusted properly. No part of my tank bag touches my tank. Maybe a picture of it as you have it installed.
