Xjr1300..do you bleed the clutch line to get the air out? if so where is the bleed screw
SOURCE: clutch
Should be two small phillips srews holding the top on the clutch reservoir.Use tight fitting screwdriver so as not to strip these screws. Be very carful not to spill any fluid on your paintjob as this is probably brake fluid and will EAT your paint. If the fluid is clear it is brake fluid. If it is red it's tranny fluid...If you're losing fluid you most likely have a leak and should have it fixed. If you add fluid and the clutch still does'nt work you will need to do a proper bleeding......Good Luck to you !....Tim

if your bike is similar to an fj,you should lift the seat and battery is underneath in its own compartment to remove it,undo the rubber retaining strap the terminals and breather tube,battery lifts out vertically

okay..I replied to your other post on the bleeder...but anyway...right behind the base of your left rear cylinder is a square rubber flap...lift the flap and the flap is teethered to the bleeder nipple.
Okay....add fluid to reservoir....be aware dripped brake fluid will destroy paint, fairing plastic etc...so have a pail of warm sudsy water to cleanoff any spilled fluid ASAP.
Replace lid ....attach a hose to bleeder nipple to a waste container. Pump the lever slowly a few times.....then pull lever partway in, and crack open the bleeder.....slowly pull lever in and hold...close bleeder. release lever. Pump lever ....hold partially in...crack bleeder....pull in , close bleeder, release bleeder.
Add fluid as needed to reservoir.
Never release lever with bleeder open or you will draw air back into bleeder from hose...always close bleeder first.
Continue this till clear new bubble free fluid exits the bleeder.
Refill reservoir leaving some room for expansion as the fluid heats up. Reinstall cap.
Aside from an obvious line leak....main cause of fluid loss from clutch reservoir is the slave cylinder seals are weeping....should consider rebuilding or replacing the slave...about $70 for a new slave.
