Why would the clutch need to be bleed.. Unless you cracked a line there is Zero reason to have to bleed it.  The piston moves back and forth every time you use the clutch.  No seeing why anyone would need to bleed it ?

Some aftermarket exhaust runs very close to the hydraulic clutch line.  If the fluid gets super heated it can introduce air into the fluid.  It happened to my riding buddy riding the mountains in Colorado in 90F+ ambient temperatures two years ago.  He lost the use of his clutch until the bike/fluid cooled - which allowed clutch to work - but barely.  We had to stop at the nearest town to buy a wrench and some brake fluid and bleed his clutch - then all was well again.  Other than a seal failing, that's the only reason I can think of that might require bleeding the clutch line...

Installed the clutch wiz yesterday and put it through the wringer today... It performed flawlessly!
My bike is a 2009 CVO SE Road Glide. I was taking a MotoMark1 maximum control riding course a couple of weeks ago and the clutch pull was ROUGH!! 

So after checking this site and the web, I ordered the Clutch Wiz and the recommended 480 pound spring. Installation is pretty straight forward, after draining the primary go ahead and loosen the primary bolts, remove all of them with the exception of the 2 at the very front of the primary cover.  Gave it a little tap and the primary came loose with plenty of room to remove the pink dot 364 lbs. spring and replaced with the new 480 lbs. spring.

Install the clutch wiz, torque down the bolts, install the primary cover bolts and torque to spec., fill the primary with your favorite fluid and install derby cover.

That's it!  For me no further adjustments.  Clutch pull is great! Practiced some slow speed parking lot maneuvers for fun and the clutch pull was really easy.

Enjoy!!

I talked with a guy that wanted info for a riding course clutch change.

Was that you? I have others who want to know if it will work on riding courses especially LE. It's really not made for such a process but one never knows unless you try.

Wiz... Yes that was I. It seems to work very well for that application.

OK thanks... I'll pass the info on to others.
