ST2 98 Zero tension in clutch lever

After adding some dot 4. shell brake fluid into the clutch reservoir, I pumped the clutch lever a few times, wiped the spurt out of my eye, replaced the rubber filler and lid of reservoir and found that I had zero tension in my clutch. None. Nada. Where did I go wrong? And more to the point, what happened! Bike getting collected to go into workshop, and I'm furious. All I did was simple home maintenance. Why did the tension go like that?

I think you got some air in the system. You are gonna have to bleed the system again. There are a number of threads on bleeding a Duc clutch, just do a search.

Out!
