Are there any problems with a hydraulic clutch?
This is my first bike, and first time with a hydraulic clutch, but I had no problems bleeding the front brakes when they were dry. You have fluid flowing through the system, so you have a large amount of air trapped at the master cylinder, inside the banjo fitting which attaches the line.
Why is there no pressure on the clutch?
Barely enough to spring the clutch pedal back. There is NO fluid leak. Reservoir is full. I bled the slave cylinder and there is no air in the system. However, the fluid (when pumping the clutch) came out rather slowly. I replaced the slave cylinder in my Commodore yesterday and it was spitting out fast when bleeding the clutch.
What to do if clutch master cylinder is low?
If the clutch fluid is low, look all over both master and slave cylinders and the pipe that connects them for signs of a leak. Pull back the lip of the dust cover on both cylinders. If there is hydraulic fluid inside the cover the piston seal is worn or damaged or the cylinder may be scored.
Is there fluid leaking from the clutch pedal?
No, pressure remains constant no matter how many times I pump it. No fluid leaks at slave cylinder or master cylinder. However, the clutch pedal where the rod goes into the firewall has very slight oil present but when I pumped the pedal nothing was leaking. Where the rod goes into the firewall it has a a little bit of play in it.

How to get air out of a hydraulic clutch system?
Take the slave and put the line end down in a jar of fluid and push the rod in and out a couple of times to get the air out of the slave, reinstall the line to the slave and reinstall the slave.
How did you Bleed the hydraulic clutch system?
It’s a closed system — if there’s air in it, it leaks. There are three components where it can leak — the master cylinder, the slave cylinder, and the hose/line that connects the first two. How did you bleed the clutch system? It’s a closed system — if there’s air in it, it leaks.
What causes a clutch cylinder to leak hydraulic fluid?
So it sits centered to the clutch assembly. If the seal in the slave cylinder has developed a leak, the hydraulic fluid will be flung out to the inside surfaces of the bellhousing. If there’s a buildup of clutch friction material dust inside the bellhousing, this will soak up any hydraulic fluid. And this is why the leak can’t be located.
