Post clutch replacement bleeding issue
I replace the clutch on my 2014 R1200RTP and tried filling clutch lines with brand new fluid. It is a single plate dry clutch system. I bled the system for several minutes and many times but it appears that clutch is not engaging with lever fully pressed. I am assuming that there are still bubbles in the system. I am keep filling the reservoir after each bleeding which tells me that all hose lines are open but the cylinder is not engaging the clutch to release plates. Any thoughts, how I might be able to resolve this issue?

Re: Post clutch replacement bleeding issue
Haven't done this myself but this thread shows how to "back-fill the system" as per the Haynes manual.
