I have a 1999 tm 125 and the clutch needs bleeding and wondered how to do it.
Best bet is to get hold of a medical syringe, sounds strange, but bear with me on this. Crack open the banjo bolt on the engine casing and let the fluid run out. Re tighten the banjo bolt. Disconnect the pipe from the lever end, this pipe should now be empty. Now this is where your syringe comes in. Fill syringe with fluid, and squirt it into the pipe, may take a couple of fills. When it is full, re connect it to the master cylinder (lever end) you'll prob have to take the lever off the bars. DO NOT PULL THE LEVER IN !!!! Open master cylinder, fill with fluid, close and try. You may need to do a little bleed again though. If so, fill syringe with fluid, attach a piece of regular petrol line to the end, connect this to bleed nipple on slave cylinder, and crack open (engine end). Open master cylinder cover (on bars), pull lever while injecting fluid. You should see the air bubbles in the master cylinder coming out. Once clear, lock off bleed nipple THEN release lever, close Master cylinder, job done. Sounds worse than it is, and after you have done it a couple of times, its really easy.
Cheers,
