Since a lot of you guys are drinking the orange stuff I figured I'd pick your brains. A friend is having me do some repairs on his 06 KTM 400EXC over the next couple of days. He says the hydraulic clutch quits working shortly after he bleeds it. He said during the last ride it worked fine for around ten minutes then stopped. Not sure it it's loosing fluid or not.
I understand how they work I'm just wondering if they are known to have issues or if there's anything in particular that I should look at or upgrade? Recommended fluid? Off the top of my head I'm thinking either it's pulling in air somehow or the slave or master cylinder needs rebuilt. I have a vacuum brake bleeder that I've used a lot on brakes and automotive clutches---is there a better method to use? I poked around on youtube but didn't find a lot. Thanks for any advice.
