    Lars, at 1:20 its clearly stated that the Brembo units use Brake fluid and the Magura uses mineral oil. And, ALWAYS consult your owners manual first for your each individual application.
    You're welcome.

    Thank you a lot for this! I own a 2008 KTM 525XC ATV that uses the magura hydraulic clutch.

    Thank you for posting. Replaced Clutch Slave Cylinder and couldn't get bled........your instructions worked great.

  • @MotoLabDirtBikes

    Opening the bleed port on the slave cylinder too far, or pumping the lever and the fluid will run out faster than you can keep the reservoir full. It's up to you to decide, all I am doing is providing an example here. Thanks for watching and check out www.motolabdirtbikes.com for on sale Moto and Dual Sport products too!

    No, just let gravity do its work. If the fluid does not want to come out, simply turn the bleed screw counterclockwise 1-2 more turns. Hope this helps!

    Sure, you can just let it run down the motor. Then make sure you rinse it off after.
    Thanks for watching, hope that helps!

    Do I need to have fluid already in the bottle and then the tube inside of the fluid?

    do you have to use a tube and a bottle or can i just let it run away or will air leak in??

    KTM says to use DOT 5.1 brake fluid for Brembo setups

    Check your manual for each individual application. Berapp!

      +Moto Lab Dirt Bikes Couldn't you speed up this process by pumping the clutch lever? Why do you just let it slowly drain?

    This method really does not work if you have let most of the fluid out of the line. The air in the line is trying to go up just as much as the fluid is trying to fall, and the line is too thin for the two to pass each other, thus, nothing happens. I resorted back to my suck pump, took a lot of pumping, but I got her. once you start getting pressure back into the lever, I recommend going back to the lever pumping method.

      ryan hegler what about using a syringe ? will that help ?

    • @fate_rhino
      @fate_rhino 7 лет назад

      todd reynolds, I'll be honest with you. I'm not really the best person to ask. I have not perfected bleeding hydraulic lines. it always seems like a pain in the ass! But this response was after my law experience after having to replace a faulty slave cylinder.

    • @toddreynolds3870
      @toddreynolds3870 7 лет назад

      Oh, ok thanks.

    • @MotoLabDirtBikes
      @MotoLabDirtBikes  7 лет назад +4

      Gravity bleeding is for routine maintenance. If you've sucked air into the line, yes, you will need to push from bottom to top using a syringe. Best of luck!

    Brake fluid in a magura clutch on a KTM is WRONG!
    Only use mineral hydraulic oil, like magura blood.
