Default AIM Light Force Install

Should be getting my AIM Light Force Clutch Slave Cylinder later this week. Can someone recommend a good syringe to use to replace the hydraulic fluid. Since the clutch line will be coming off, I am thinking of replacing all of the fluid with new. Watched a video to push the fluid from the bottom of line up. Seems pretty simple. Thank you.

I don't remember the brand etc but I bought a bunch of stuff from Tractor Supply. The method you're describing works well and is perfect for handlebar changes and what not. Good tool to have around...

Had mine done last week never had any problems with the old one but its and out of the way. i would think you should have your recall done by HD just for the record.

Turn the handlebars to the right so reservoir is not tilted, open the bleeder and pour brake fluid in reservoir it will all run down hill .You're flushed, to bleed out air make sure reservoir is full no air bubbles coming out of bleeder tighten and your done.

Why its been replaced irrelevant to warranty ? I never had my recall done makes no sense if stock parts are removed. Who cares if its on books 5 years from now if I would go back to stock they still would have to honor recall and do it no charge. Sometimes I wonder if you guys just dream up problems that don't matter

They also sell one very similar at Walmart and Farm & Fleet that works great. Bob

I get what you're saying but, I believe those open recalls usually end after a specified amount of time.
Unless he intends to send that expensive AIM down the road with the bike once he trades it, it would be cool to send it off with a known good actuator. I mean they are free right now.
