you need to use a vacumm bleeder for all the lines on the bike !!!

such as the front & rear brake cylinders AND the clutch as well !

no you don''t. Either have someone hold the bike up and pump the clutch lever OR use a rear stand so you can take the cap off the resevior wihtout fluid leaking everywhere. Squeeze handle, hold...open bleeder valve until pressure fades, CLOSE and then release lever. Repeat until bubbles are gone and line is clean and clear. IMPORTANT, make sure the fluid doesn''t get too low or you will introduce air into your line...which sucks. Pump the lever, bleed. Pump lever, bleed. until the bottle is half full and add and repeat until bottle is clean and clear and you have good pressure. ALSO, don''t release the handle too fast or you WILL spray your biek with fluid...which you need to immediately clean off...use a towel under left handle. Good luck hope you understand it...
