bleeding hyd. system

i know this has been covered many times but the search is down and i need piece of mind. i just got done beeling my hyd. system and i want to make sure i did it right. when i bled the system i opened the bleeder and had someone push the pedal to the floor and hold it. i than closed the bleeder and repeated. now the pedal seemes ok but semi soft. it shifts better than before i just want to make sure i did it right. thanks.

ps ive got a cartek clutch and there slave.

sounds like u did it right, being softer I wouldn't complain one bit as long as it's working fine.

with an aftermarket PP and clutch softer means more like factory. even tho my pedal feel wasn't bad at all it was stiffer after the spec 3 swap. I'm putting a Ram street twin in this weekend so I'm looking for more of a factory feel but handle everything I throw at it.
