Need help bleeding a clutch?
I bought a used 2002 Suzuki intruder from someone, it ran nicely until the next day the clutch would not disengage. I opened up the master cylinder, the fluids were low and it looked a bit rusty. So I cleaned it up and added some fluid , tried gravity bleeding from slave cylinder, fluid came out very slowly if at all. Then tried banjo bolt at master cylinder. No bubbles. Bought a bleeder pump and ran it several times through the nipple on slave cylinder, endless bubbles come out after even a dozen tries. Should I keep pumping? or do I need to replace the line? I cannot tell if there is a leak.

If there are no leaks (wet boots) on the master or slave cylinders you need two people to bleed a hydraulic clutch. Don't pump the pedal. Have someone push the pedal down with their hand and pull the pedal back up. The have them hold the pedal down while you quickly open and close the slave cylinder bleeder screw. It takes a good dozen repetitions to get the air out. Fill the reservoir often so you don't suck more air into the system.

Drive you car for about 50 kms and do bleeding again. If problem doesn't solve then replace with new one.

It sounds like you have a leaking line or possibly bad master or slave cylinder.
