Hi Del, I just had a bit of trouble with my bike clutch and watching your video it's been a total relief. Your explanation of the technical method it's crisp and neat, therefore easy and pleasant to understand. Well done!

[@CAREERMAN70]

By far the best Motorcycle Maintenance channel on KZbin! Keeps it very simple and, right as the question pops up in my head, he's addressing it! I think we're on the same mental wavelength or something. Thanks, yet again, from across the pond!

[@Moonfleet41]

Most welcome buddy, glad the videos can help you, and thanks for your very kind words! We appreciate your sentiments, ride safe.

[@gbolahanfadeyi2886]

I must have been blind all along !!!. Just stumbled upon the best motorcycle tutorial on online… I was actually looking for someone to do change my clutch fluid before the clutch wasn’t catching after a prolong ride. Now, I can do it myself. Thanks.

[@Moonfleet41]

Most welcome mate. Glad I could help! And thank you for your kind words too.

[@mr8r3nd0]

Absolutly awesome instructional video mate, honestly the best and most simple explanation I've seen. Hats off to you.

[@Moonfleet41]

Much appreciated Brendon, glad it helped you!

I've watched this, before, but found myself watching it again, to remind myself! Ha! So, everyone, repeat after me... Pull, open/shut & release! Pull, open/shut & release! Pull, open/shut & release! Cheers, Del.

Great video, I will give it a try. Thanks.

[@MrDan97]

No matter how simple or advanced the job in hand is, the information given is always solid!! And support is there tenfold! Love this channel 👌🏻👌🏻 I’ve gone from being scared to do anything and having my dealer do the slightest things to now always having that give it a go attitude! I’ve made my mistakes but I’ve learned from everyone! And del has always been there to help me out when the s#*t has hit the fan haha! Keep it up man

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, you are very kind, its simple house keeping most of the time that doesn't need to be done by a professional, some jobs do like valve clearances because changing shims ,and making a mistake can lead to horrible damage and massive bills to repair... but simple basic easy stuff just takes a little common sense and some positive attitude aye.. Always drop us a line of you need a tip or tricl buddy.. take care.. Del.

[@JT-yw4lj]

The background info on small things is really what gives me a good foundation as to how to make it work .Appreciate your insights !

This is such a good video even a simpleton like me could do it. Thanks!

[@Moonfleet41]

You're so welcome!

[@emfl4437]

Thanks for the explanation about not securing the clutch lever in over several days. The wear on the clutch springs makes perfect sense, I didn't think about that. Cheers!

Taught like a pro! Thank you 🙏

[@Moonfleet41]

You're welcome!

[@LamVienLV]

Thank you Del. This is an excellent video. Your videos have helped me to bleed the air in the clutch hydraulic system of the 1984 Honda V65 Sabre. The bike that has been sitting for more than 30 years. When I troubleshooting for ignition with no spark at spark plug, the micro-switch for safety start at the clutch handle that click every time when pulled. After all the air bled off and new Dot4 Brake fluid in the system then the clutch mechanism working then the ignition provided spark at the spark plugs(not sure if there is an other safety device in the clutch assembly for starting). I started the engine and let it ran for about half minute. That made me very happy. The bike has only 1020 miles on the odometer.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you for sharing your experience Sir, im glad you got the old bike back up and running. i hope you can enjoy many miles riding it as well as working on it.. at such low mileage it's maybe time to start enjoying it as they're no fun just to look at aye... Good luck and ride safe..

[@giovannim5101]

Thank you again for the info, it really helps me out with the maintenance of my Vulcan vn 1500.

[@Byrds1967]

Thanks for your video.

[@Goldwing1500rider]

Thank you for taking the time explain the process. My clutch was dried out after few years of sitting. Will take time to repair and replace the fluid. 1986 Honda 1100 shadow.

[@Moonfleet41]

[@devilsd8ce]

Thank you so much! I had my bike standing still for a long long time, and now I needed to switch the clutch fluid but didnt know how, though it was hard... Well... Its wasnt. Once again, thank you.

[@Moonfleet41]

Most welcome Jose, Glad it helped!

[@MikeBrown-do8gl]

The thing I like about his videos is the way he throws in little pieces of advice like what he said about not zip tying the clutch lever overnight like the way people do for the brake. I would have totally done that AND stripped the screws on the reservoir lid 😅

[@honza8tube]

Thanks for sharing. I made small modification using syringe that makes negative presure and suck in all the air and bubbles. This makes all process much faster.

[@bazm1]

A great help. Thank you 👍

[@Moonfleet41]

[@Moonfleet41]

You're most welcome buddy, we sure intend to !

[@BazzSelby]

Excellent! Couldn't be any easier!

[@semtech30]

All done . Thanks for good demo. My lever was squelching bad. The fluid was grey and murky. Sucked out the res completely and cleaned. Opened the bottom bleed valve and let gravity refill the system until no more bubbles visible. Worked great. Hard to do like you demonstrated as the master and clutch lever were opposite sides of the bike. 2014 Ultra Ltd.

[@Moonfleet41]

Glad you got it fixed buddy, that squelching always signifies water in the system, and certainly needed changing, bet it's a lot better now and btw, awesome bike you have there!

[@pvleif]

2021 still a good vid...

[@danielmagdziarz7440]

Great tutorial! Thanks!

[@rhinely850]

Great video! My only addition is to not squeeze the lever too aggressively while doing this. Some master cylinders will actually shoot the fluid in the reservoir up like an underwater eruption, and might make a mess. You can also squeeze it gently back and forth (like a wiggle) and watch the air bubbles come up initially through the fluid in the reservoir. That helps in then initial bleeding of the master cylinder until the piston bore gets full of fluid. Keep them coming, I'm a fan! Now tell me how the break free my 1971 Triumph pistons that are rusted in the cylinder. Thanks again.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi mate... damn good advice, i forgot to mention the wiggle trick, yes indeed, a great way to get the fluid to trickle down into a dry hose too, and yeah, i think we've all had the little fountain of fluid in the past, thats why im paranoid with the blanket..lol

[@Glotalaya]

having my bike picked up today to have the clutch done it's a 30 year old bike it's prone to clutch master and slave failure or something after not having it on the road for a year am pretty excited to get back on it hopefully today if they are fast at it.
