if it doesnt have like a speed bleeder you need two people.. push peddle, hold.. crack line.. tighten.. release peddle slowly .. same as the brakes

unless the line is long enough to put the line back in the resevoir, then you just put it in there and pump to cycle all the air out

Its a remote line and thought speed bleeder but as said it don't seem to be working very good. I did drill mod so got air in the line and didn't bench bleed it.
Also will the pedal come up with a broken clutch spring? No idea how light this tex twin is supposed to be either.

PLEASE don't do that. Never re-use brake fluid. The fluid that comes out is most likely contaminated or holding small pockets of air. Brake fluid is very inexpensive... do it right the first time and use fresh.

Crack line, then push pedal, then hold pedal down and tighten line, then release slowly to draw from the resevoir.

I did my bleed with 2 people once we installed the extension. I opened the bleeder, my buddy pumped, and I closed. I also watched the fluid level as my bleeder is run up next to the resevoir. Piece of cake this way.

I used a Motive bleeder on the master (pressurized to 10psi only), and then submerged the end of the slave extension in brake fluid and cracked and waited for the bubbles to stop - no pumping required. It was really quick.
