I need to bleed the clutch on my vt 700 shadow, 1986 model

The hydraulic clutch isn't working on my 86 vt700 shadow, my guess is I need to bleed it out. How do I go about doing that?

My guess is that unless it leaked out, your master or slave cylinder is going out. But I assume you must have already checked the reservoir to see if it has any brake fluid in it. So crack open that bleeder valve down there at the slave cylinder and let it drip while you keep the res. full. When you stop seeing air bubbles, close the bleeder and top off fluid. Great Job!

Your clutch plates have lasted 25 years. It is probably time to get some new plates. Have your dealer get you a set of Barnett clutch plates.
