Suzuki Intruder VS1400: Bleed Clutch & Brake Lines - Rebuild Part 7

Today I will show you how to reverse bleed the clutch and the brakes of my Suzuki VS1400 Intruder.

The Suzuki Intruder VS1400 has a reputation for being one of the most difficult motorcycles to bleed, reverse bleeding is the solution!

The reason for this is that the Suzuki Intruder clutch has a very long hydraulic pipe. The clutch pipework travels from the master clutch cylinder on the handlebars, down the length of the bike where it then joins on to a solid metal pipe. This metal pipe then bends and twists around the body of the bike until it eventually ends up at the clutch slave cylinder.

I have installed steel braided hoses on my bike, and if you are doing the same, the reverse bleed method on the Suzuki VS1400 Intruder is likely going to be what gives you the solution to this head-scratcher.

This is the biggest project I have taken on, The bike will be completely stripped down to the frame, the engine will be removed for new piston rings to be installed, the wiring harness is going to be rewired and the entire bike overhauled, ready for spring 2020....I hope.
