This is how I carried out this procedure and it seemed to work well.

Clutch Bleeding.

1. Removed slave cylinder from bike

2.Removed pipe union from slave cylinder.

3.Blew in hole to push slave cylinder out.

3.Used small syringe to fill slave cylinder.

4.Pushed slave cylinder in slowly, holding it upright, watching the air bubble out.

5.Reconnected pipe union

6. Cable tied clutch lever to bars.

7.Filled larrge syringe, with short lenght of pipe, with brake fluid, then point upwards to push out air.

8.Loosened slave cylinder bleed nipple and connected large syringe, via small length of pipe to nipple.

9.Held slave cylinder piston in position via mole grips or similar.

10.Steadily pushed fluid into bleed valve(say 50mm).You will see it coming out of the master cylinder along with any air

11.Tightened nipple.

12.Removed cable tie and pumped lever.

13.Held lever ,again, with a cable tie and left over night.

14 Finished.

I hope this helps
