Well I guess I figured it out, I didn't use my bleed tool I just held the lever with a little bit of pressure and opened up the valve then applied more pressure to the lever and closed bleed valve until I didn't see any bubbles I also had previously tapped the banjo fittings and the slave cylinder lightly with a rubber end on a screwdriver so I would like to thank all you guys and I'm going to ride about a couple miles tomorrow before I put the fairings back on to make sure she is good and checking for leaks not job is to burp the system is there any easier way without pulling side fairing off I know it's a stupid question but but you guys are pros and I'm a newbie working on my busa thanks again guys

It sure sounds like air in the clutch system...they are real tricky to bleed and set up...sometimes I really wish Suzuki would have stuck to cable operated clutches.....

Would have made it easier lol

 

[Bigpopa64]

Another way to bleed them is the way I always have on cars and trucks... open bleeder pull lever and hold and then close bleeder and release lever. Ive seen alot of people try to bleed a slave cylinder on bikes and cars like u would brakes in a car the old pump, hold, open bleeder and that just don't work well at all. But when I just flushed the slave cylinder on my busa I did have a mityvac so I used it and made a pretty quick jib of it.

I used a tool similar to the mighty vac

 

[Bigpopa64]

If one doesn't have such a device, they can be tricky to bleed as they give very little feed-back.

I still don't have one of those but will have one soon.....you'd think I'd have one after owning 4 Suzukis with hydraulic clutches...

LOL

Right there with you...I'm going to wait until the silly season us over then am going to strip it down for a detailed cleaning and prep for new rubber...

Finally got around to installing the Trickbitz 3/4” riser plate and was able to loosen the triple clamps and drop the front end 3/4” to match. The plate is a fine piece of workmanship - hard anodized aluminum with stainless bushings - almost a shame to hide it under the handlebar plate..... Helibars are still on and this setup is definitely now hitting the fairing. I think I will try and loosen / rotate them back a bit as any sharp right turn will most likely switch the hi-beam on. Next project will be to drop the rear a matching 3/4” and then I’m done till after Christmas

watched a couple you tube videos about wire splicing
Learned a MUCH cleaner approach
so I threw the standalone harness I was working on, in the dumpster (not literally) and started anew

I worked on a cool old GT550 Suzook today, we are selling it on behalf here at the dealership, it’s my job to get it road worthy and cleaned up.... I’m having fun

Have been really sick the last two days, but managed to get started on putting my new galfer rotors and pads this morning. Hope to have it back together and put some miles on it next weekend, if health and weather allows. It’s raining today.
