Hello,
I did a search on Gold Wing problems and saw yours, unanswered for 2 months, and figured you have received your answer from somewhere else.
I will answer your question, just in case you haven't bled your clutch system yet. Just so you know, it is not necessary to bleed your clutch system unless your clutch feels spongy, you have had a leak somewhere in the system, you have had a component replaced, or you are changing the DOT 4 fluid.
1) Remove the dust cap from the bleed valve on the Clutch Slave Cylinder.
2) Connect a clear tube to the bleed valve on the Clutch Slave Cylinder - make sure you have a long enough length of tubing so that you can put a loop in the tubing higher than the bleed valve to prevent air from entering the system.
3) Place the other end of the tube into a clean container and fill the container with enough DOT 4 fluid to keep the end of the tube submerged.
4) Clean the top of the Clutch Master Cylinder and remove the screw holding the cover on. Remove the cover and the diaphragm.
5) Check the fluid level, and if low, fill the reservoir almost to the top line. Replace the diaphragm and cover and tighten the screws loosely.
6) Apply the Clutch Lever, slowly, several times and hold the lever in the applied position. Open the Bleed Valve and allow the Clutch Lever to compress completely. Tighten the Bleed Valve and release the Clutch Lever.
Repeat this step until all air bubbles are out of the system. NOTE: make sure to check the reservoir often to keep the fluid level full so air won't enter the system. When finished, make sure to keep the Clutch Lever pulled all the way in and tighten the bleed valve then replace the dust cap. If the lever still feels spongy, it will be necessary to repeat all the steps again until the Clutch Lever feels firm and gives the same feel each time it is applied.
Once you are finished bleeding the clutch system, make sure the fluid reservoir is full and tighten the screws on the cover. Do not apply too much force when tightening these screws as they have a tendency to strip.
If you are changing the fluid, open the bleed valve and keep apply the clutch until no fluid exits the bleed valve. You will need to follow the above steps to refill the clutch system with fluid.

SOURCE: how do i bleed hydralic
The principal reason behinde bleeding the clutch system is the same on any machine with a hydrallic system, keeping the resovoir full while pulling the lever pushes the fluid through the line to the slave cylinder, which is located on the engine-gearbox. If while bleeding the system you experiance difficulty, you could remove the slave cylinder, clamp the piston so it does not push from the cylinder while bleeding, then lift the cylinder higher than the resovoir and bleed it like. This, with a tube from the bleed nipple into a container, submerge the end of the pip,e in the fluid, then open the nipple and start pulling the lever in and out, this will push the air out allowing the fluid to follow, once all the air has been removed and only fluid is cuming out ofthe pipe, hold the lever at the in position and tighten the nipple before letting go of the lever, replace all parts

SOURCE: how do I bleed the
break loose the bleed nipple on the caliper. Open the reservoir at the brake lever and fill with fluid. Keep it open as it has a very small capacity and you will be re-filling it as you go along. Wait and see if it will gravity bleed out. If not, pull the brake lever and put your finger over the bleed when you release the lever- so it won't **** air back in. You should be able to feel the air bubbles "squish" out of the caliper. Continue till no air is left.
Tighten up the caliper nipple and fill the res to the top and your done.
