Andy your way seems the easiest, have to wait til the chemist opens, or I could just go to the local council estate...

Oh, you said NO needle

2 of the bolts holding the slave cylinder on have gone walkies too, bloody vibey twins!

what a little confusing you have said you have left the piston behind and you will need it in place or it will just run out and get air in.

DJ,
I had EXACTLY the same problem last year..tried the syringe, took the slave apart, clamped the piston...all to no avail...
What finally worked was: undo the handlebar clamp, tilt the lever/master cylinder assembly upwards so that air can rise from the banjo bolt (at handlebar end) and into the master cylinder. Hey presto..little bubbles of air come skipping merrily into the master cylinder and the lever pressure miraculously returns!
Give it a whirl..it takes about 5 mins.
Good luck.

The easiest way is to install a bleeder fitting up at the clutch master cylinder since any air bubbles in the system will rise to the highest point. Why Ducati put the bleed valve at the system low point I’ll never understand.



If you can't find one, you can try just loosening the bolt slightly and bleed air from the banjo bolt as if it were a bleeder fitting.

Be careful to avoid spraying the hydraulic fluid. Keep plenty of rags handy to clean up any spills and cover everything. The fluid is corrosive and will damage painted surfaces and certain plastics.

I cant believe that photo - clear fluid - mine only stays like that for about a week and that with a new slave piston, Goodrich hose and DoT 5 fluid!
