    I need to bleed my clutch line. I know that I'll need to remove the old fluid. What I don't know is how much do I put back in? Should it be filled to the top or do I only fill it to those little tick marks that are on the master cylinder window?

    Just get a small bottle of D4 and add to the line as you bleech, fill it up as you go untill no more bubble. DO NOT OVER FILL ABOVE THE LINE.

    Turn the bars to the right and the reservoir will be level with the ground. Fill to the line when the reservoir is level.
