I'm partial to the reverse-bleed method for the clutch on the 900's. That long vertical section of the metal line really is is a killer - let gravity work for you, rather than against you. I get the requisite turkey baster, use that as a funnel. I clipped it to the edge of the open hood, long clear hose from the baster to the clutch bleeder nipple. Open it up, open up the reservoir, and add fluid to teh baster until you're satisfied that it's done. CLose the bleeder (leave the hose attached, just turn it shut), try it, and re-open and wait more if needed. Lots less screwing around while doing it, you probably have the parts on hand, and it seems to work better in my experience. Getting that vertical section cleared takes pressure *and* flow if you're working against gravity - to me, it's easier to just work with it. Dave Hinz
