How do I bleed my clutch?

[lukachuki]

Ok first dumb question.

On my 05 300 after the last ride I put my bike in the shop for a week or so. A couple of days later when the urge struck to annoy my neighbors I hopped back on it only to find that my clutch lever had no "squeeze resistance" to it. Upon starting the bike I was unable to completely disengage the clutch to shift it into first. I assume I have an air bubble or something in my hydraulic line and as such I need to bleed it. Is my jr. diagnosis probable and if so how do I do I bleed the clutch and if not what else should I check?

TIA

My suggestion - get a large syringe and a piece of hose and "back bleed" that puppy. A quick search on the web and I found the following instructions...

Well I didn't have to actually back bleed it. My little resevior up top was empty. I will have to keep an eye on it and see if I need to find a leaky seal or gasket or something.
