How often do you bleed your clutch ?

[BIGKAT1100]

I think I am having to bleed my clutch to often. Knowing that this is supposed to be a closed system, should it ever be bled ?

Appreciate any input.

Thanx

I've got the "SteveB Superset" of Speed bleeders coming from CyberPoet, and it includes the correct one for the clutch.

I'd do it when you do the brakes, since you're already up to your eyeballs in brake fluid already.

I may not have explained the situation accurately. About every 3 monthes of riding, somehow air gets in the system and I have to bleed it. I have not tracked how many miles it is during this cycle. I can't see where I'm losing any fluid on the ground or anywhere else. The level in the reservoir (spellchk) is consistant with what I put in there. Then after I bleed it, I top it off, and it's fine for a couple more monthes. My fear with that, is there a possiblity that one day the bleeding will not work anymore ?

Another factor is if the bike is not being ridden, this condition does not occur.

still listening for sensible input

I don't know what to tell ya. I put 220k kms on my 92 and never ever had to bleed the clutch. in fact, I think it was the original fluid ater close to 14 years of being on the road.
