Don't you just love a youtuber who is NOT irritating! 👌
THAT's what I would call a Pro mechanic's tutorial! Everything explained so clearly. Thank you!
Undoubtedly the best clutch bleeding video on YT
Nay, the best mechanical aid on RUclips by far. Cheers dude.
I guess im asking randomly but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Kolton Turner instablaster :)
Easily the best tutorial videos on YT, with everything explained so clearly, step-by-step. Keep up the great work! :)
Hi Del, I just had a bit of trouble with my bike clutch and watching your video it's been a total relief. Your explanation of the technical method it's crisp and neat, therefore easy and pleasant to understand. Well done!
By far the best Motorcycle Maintenance channel on RUclips! Keeps it very simple and, right as the question pops up in my head, he's addressing it!
I think we're on the same mental wavelength or something.
Thanks, yet again, from across the pond!
Most welcome buddy, glad the videos can help you, and thanks for your very kind words! We appreciate your sentiments, ride safe.
I've watched this, before, but found myself watching it again, to remind myself! Ha! So, everyone, repeat after me... Pull, open/shut & release! Pull, open/shut & release! Pull, open/shut & release! Cheers, Del.
You got it..!
Hello Delboy, great video. You're explanations on how to properly flush the hydraulic flush is clean, simple and easy to understand. Thank you for another great video. Your videos have saved me so much money. Thank you!
The thing I like about his videos is the way he throws in little pieces of advice like what he said about not zip tying the clutch lever overnight like the way people do for the brake. I would have totally done that AND stripped the screws on the reservoir lid 😅
Finally a “how to” that I can follow! Thank you, I will now check your other videos. Please keep them coming.
Well done Del, good simple skill that will help many new and returning riders for years to come. Cheers
Absolutly awesome instructional video mate, honestly the best and most simple explanation I've seen. Hats off to you.
Much appreciated Brendon, glad it helped you!
Thank you for taking the time explain the process. My clutch was dried out after few years of sitting. Will take time to repair and replace the fluid. 1986 Honda 1100 shadow.
Just finished servicing my hayabusa with the help of del boy. Saved me a few Bob. Many thanks mate, you're a top bloke.
No problem 👍, glad to be of help.
The way you teach. Is remarkable. I've struggled with bleeding systems In the past and after watching your video, I've confidently done this procedure dozens of times with no issues. Your soft spoken voice, booms with knowledge. Thanks mate. Ride safe.
Thank you buddy, that's very kind of you... so glad to know the videos have helped you out! Ride safe...
Another cracking lesson, love the big muscle bikes.. I'll be using this on my cb1300 . Cheers
Two years after this video was posted, it was tremendous help! THANKS!!
Thanks for sharing. I made small modification using syringe that makes negative presure and suck in all the air and bubbles. This makes all process much faster.
No matter how simple or advanced the job in hand is, the information given is always solid!! And support is there tenfold! Love this channel 👌🏻👌🏻 I’ve gone from being scared to do anything and having my dealer do the slightest things to now always having that give it a go attitude! I’ve made my mistakes but I’ve learned from everyone! And del has always been there to help me out when the s#*t has hit the fan haha! Keep it up man
Thanks buddy, you are very kind, its simple house keeping most of the time that doesn't need to be done by a professional, some jobs do like valve clearances because changing shims ,and making a mistake can lead to horrible damage and massive bills to repair... but simple basic easy stuff just takes a little common sense and some positive attitude aye.. Always drop us a line of you need a tip or tricl buddy.. take care.. Del.
Thank you again for the info, it really helps me out with the maintenance of my Vulcan vn 1500.
Very informative. I like the way you explained the reasoning and the mechanics. Thanks!
Thanks del for the video, that's so clear, I can fix my clutch now
Glad it helped mate, good luck with your projects!
Thanks for the explanation about not securing the clutch lever in over several days. The wear on the clutch springs makes perfect sense, I didn't think about that. Cheers!
Hi Del and Penny love the wee channel, been rideing bikes 35years now. And still learn a lot watching the videos. Lot of jealous people out there Del trying to knock you. But you have three times there viewer's says it all doesn't it. Looking forward to next year to see some of the new things your going do. Take care ride safe. Gary N.Ireland
Hi Gary, Thank you so much for your kind message, yeah, we know, lots of hateful jealous people in this world buddy, but thankfully RUclips are now making inroads into dealing with them at last.. Take care and ride safe my friend.. D&Px
Love it, one of the best videos on brake and clutch bleed, learned a lot, thanks a lot !!!!!
another good money saver and safety skill, will help folks for years to come as will all your others.all the best.
Great brake video. You should do more of these bike videos. Seems most motorcycles are built about the same. You're a great presenter. :)
Thank you Del. This is an excellent video. Your videos have helped me to bleed the air in the clutch hydraulic system of the 1984 Honda V65 Sabre. The bike that has been sitting for more than 30 years. When I troubleshooting for ignition with no spark at spark plug, the micro-switch for safety start at the clutch handle that click every time when pulled. After all the air bled off and new Dot4 Brake fluid in the system then the clutch mechanism working then the ignition provided spark at the spark plugs(not sure if there is an other safety device in the clutch assembly for starting). I started the engine and let it ran for about half minute. That made me very happy. The bike has only 1020 miles on the odometer.
Thank you for sharing your experience Sir, im glad you got the old bike back up and running. i hope you can enjoy many miles riding it as well as working on it.. at such low mileage it's maybe time to start enjoying it as they're no fun just to look at aye... Good luck and ride safe..
Thank you for advising against the brake trick. I think you just saved my ass a lot of heartache and pain.
Love these vids. They are inspiring confidence to get my hands dirty with my bike. Thank you and I hope you keep up the good work.
You're most welcome buddy, we sure intend to !
Thank you very much - now i feel confident enough to do it myself!
Had to like and comment mate, many thanks.👍👍😁
This channel is gold.
This guy knows what he s doing. Good explanation. Thanks.
All done . Thanks for good demo. My lever was squelching bad. The fluid was grey and murky. Sucked out the res completely and cleaned. Opened the bottom bleed valve and let gravity refill the system until no more bubbles visible. Worked great. Hard to do like you demonstrated as the master and clutch lever were opposite sides of the bike. 2014 Ultra Ltd.
Glad you got it fixed buddy, that squelching always signifies water in the system, and certainly needed changing, bet it's a lot better now and btw, awesome bike you have there!
Another fantastic video! Complete and easy to follow. You are my "go to" channel when I need to learn how to do something on my b12 Bandit.
Most welcome Kyle, glad we could help!
You're simply the best! Thanks for all the time you spend - it helps us all tremendously!
Wow, thank you!
I watched a video where they pumped the reservoir completely dry, then attached the pump to the bleeder valve, but your method seems much more straight forward. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I had my bike standing still for a long long time, and now I needed to switch the clutch fluid but didnt know how, though it was hard... Well... Its wasnt. Once again, thank you.
Most welcome Jose, Glad it helped!
I was able to do it myself !! Thanks👏🏼👏🏼
The background info on small things is really what gives me a good foundation as to how to make it work .Appreciate your insights !
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, going to do this job in the spring.
Thanks for making this video, I’ll be doing mine over the winter 👍🏻
Good luck with it buddy.
Always enjoy the videos! Nice detail and good camera work.
Simply the best video I've seen on replacing clutch fluid. Thank you.
Very welcome sir.
Thanks. This has helped me out to just do it myself. Thanks Del 👍🏾
No problem 👍
Great tutorial! Thanks!
Good solid straightforward video.
It s time to change my CB1300 clutch fluid,so thanks for this nice video!
Thanks Del, much appreciated.
Great video! Full, detailed explanations. Well done. I normally don't like or subscribe, but I did this time.
Thanks for another great video, Del. As always, learned something new. Didn't know about the vent holes.
Cheers buddy, glad you enjoyed it.
Great video! Some others recommending vacum pumps etc.... Looks like this method is simple and effective ;-)
Clear and concise, well done.
brilliant vid,many thanks,i would have just pumped away with leaver,job done in no time at all
Thank you for the informative video,helped alot!
Really liked this, lots of detailed information.
Great instructions. Thanks.
You're The Man! You make it all so clear & understandable! Thanks a lot!👌👍✌
Happy to help mate!
Another winner! Thanks Del.
Great video, I will give it a try. Thanks.
Nice one. Being a bit of a gadget freak, I like using my vacuum pump for these hydraulic jobs, but the method you used is, as you demonstrated, every bit as effective (and cheaper!).
Thanks Len, yes there are great labour saving items to help you with this, but this method has worked for generations..
Very professional. Good comparison between clutch and brakes .
Thanks! 👍
That's the simplest video on the topic. Love it!
Glad you liked it!
@@Moonfleet41 yeah, I thought I'm gonna need a bleeding kit for that. Thank you.
I have an 85 Yamaha VMax with 11K original miles. I’m the second owner. The old man I got it from bought it May 10/85. It is in great condition and looks new. I am changing all fluids filters n I installed new tires myself. I added a 170 rear and not the factory 150. It’s a beautiful dark red metallic and black bike. Scary fast. Number 2131 off the production line and any Vmax under 2500 was produced full power balls to the wall. After 2500 insurance companies made Yamaha tone them down.145 HP factory rated.
Hi Jimbo, sounds like you have an absolute gem there, and a rare bike indeed, i bet the Max heads on the forums would pay top money for one of those.. and you're dead right, the full power bikes were the only ones to have.. they are so reliable too, just keep an eye on the servos that operate the V-boost inlets, and keep on top of the corrosion, and the rest takes care of itself... Good luck and have fun with it buddy,, all the best. Del.
Nicely demonstrated I’d be brave enough to try this myself now 😎👍
Good luck with it Tony, hope it goes well for you.. Del.
Legend. Your a gem for information. I`ve learned so much from watching your videos. Thanks.
Great to hear!
Great video! My only addition is to not squeeze the lever too aggressively while doing this. Some master cylinders will actually shoot the fluid in the reservoir up like an underwater eruption, and might make a mess. You can also squeeze it gently back and forth (like a wiggle) and watch the air bubbles come up initially through the fluid in the reservoir. That helps in then initial bleeding of the master cylinder until the piston bore gets full of fluid. Keep them coming, I'm a fan! Now tell me how the break free my 1971 Triumph pistons that are rusted in the cylinder. Thanks again.
Hi mate... damn good advice, i forgot to mention the wiggle trick, yes indeed, a great way to get the fluid to trickle down into a dry hose too, and yeah, i think we've all had the little fountain of fluid in the past, thats why im paranoid with the blanket..lol
Thank you, I finally have the confidence to do this job the right way after watching your video
Straight to the point, knowledge
Thanks
Glad it helped, good luck with yours mate.
@@Moonfleet41 it helped immensely, all my questions an concerns were neatly pointed out though out
Great job
Amazing video! Super clear instructions. Cheers from Australia.
Most welcome mate..Glad it was helpful!
Worked like a charm. Gosh damn I can’t thank you enough.
Well done video. Stayed on topic and provided a lot of relevant information. Great looking shop!
Thank you. your kind feedback is very much appreciated!
Delboys thanks so much for the video got my clutch feeling way better on my 99 zrx 1100
No problem 👍
Good stuff your showing Del ..... "thanks" !!!
Awesome video, first time I’ve seen any of your stuff. Will be looking for more.
Welcome aboard!
Ta Star, all angles covered and very thorough, cheers! 👍🏻
p.s. XJR looking awesome with that there turbo.
Cheers Pete, good to hear from you buddy.
Just subscribed!!! great video plenty of useful information thank you 👍👍👍
Excellent as always. Thanks Del
having my bike picked up today to have the clutch done it's a 30 year old bike it's prone to clutch master and slave failure or something after not having it on the road for a year am pretty excited to get back on it hopefully today if they are fast at it.
Great vid fella. Some bikes, like BMW don't always use clutch fluid, but a special oil like Hydralikol, which is a pink fluid instead. Often reverse filling is the order of the day with such bikes.
Yeah, good call, Beemers have all kinds of odd ways of doing things... good to har from you chap, hope them puppies are well.. Del.
Thank you!
Awesome video 5*****s all the way.
Explained very well👍
thanks for the advice - very helpful and has given me the confidence to do my clutch next time I do my oil change.
yeah had problems with the starter motor but i need a new bike any way. so going for a 1200bandit 1995 with 31.000 miles i hope and pray that i get it best wishes to penny as well bro keep up the great work brother ;-)
Nice one,done brake fluid the other day. Thought it was a similiar process for clutch.
Very informative and I did learn a lot.
Searched for this, and what a find. Got an issue with my GSX 1400 clutch and about to bleed. Great informative video. Gave me the confidence to go at it. I’ve a few bikes (2 1980’s katanas, gsx1400, and a gorgeous cbr1000f and a Hyabusa in sight)but no knowledge. Have subscribed to your channel as an eager student. Thanks 👍
Hi Carl, glad it helped you mate, and welcome aboard, that sounds like a fair collection of muscle bikes there, and i bet they all keep you busy.. Enjoy the videos, and feel free to drop me a line if you get stuck and can't find a solution, two heads are better then one aye.. good luck with it and have fun mate.. all the best. .Del.
@@Moonfleet41 thank you so much Del. Yes I’m a muscle bike fan but love all bikes. That’s a real nice bike in your video. Thanks again 👍
This is such a good video even a simpleton like me could do it. Thanks!
You're so welcome!
Excellent! Couldn't be any easier!
Taught like a pro! Thank you 🙏
You're welcome!
P nice easy fix, all the best both 👍😎
Love the videos, great stuff.
Very well explained! You just gained a new subscriber! Cheers from across the pond! 🙌🏼
Thank you Sir, Welcome aboard!
Thnx for this clear how to video!
Thanks for your video.
Good stuff! Thanks.
Most welcome sir, glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent video. Thank you!
You are welcome!
The hydraulic hoses have a Teflon lining. If the rubber in your fluid is from the hose you have a split Teflon liner and your hose needs to be replaced urgently. It is much more likely that the black muck is made of wear particles from the master piston seals.
Nice explain! Thanks was very helpful.
No worries!
Great Video..very helpfull..thanks mate
Thanks Dave, good to hear from you mate.
