I have bled my Ducati monster clutches many time but the 750ss perplexes me as after 16 attempts and 5 days it is still as soggy as ever .I fitted a new stailess hose and fittings and copper O rings as usual and reverse bleed etc tie wrap lever over night ...nothing ?????

seals on clutch remote OK I take..I had problems with mine and what I did was to fill the system and let the syringe take out the air bubble slowly, rather than sucking/pumping the oil through.

I had same problem on mine.

Made sure all the washers were anealed and then used a pump to suck the fluid through as air does get trapped and pumping didn't seem to cure the problem.

Hope this helps

Cheers

I had massive problems with mine two months ago, it took me a week to solve it!!!!!

I bought syringes and a length of hose, then even went down the motrax hydraulic pump route!! still no joy!! eventually left the bleed nipple open and kept pumping fluid through without closing it off (as they suggest not to) but this shifted the stubborn trapped air and all was well. It not works better than ever, i'm just £70 lighter in the pocket!!!!
