Just for an update, we found a bearing for the rear panalever in Lima but then found the master cylinder for the clutch has failed again. I'm thinking the system was not bleed properly since the master cylinder has all new parts and the manual says it should be done using a vacuum pump. Even after showing the mechanic photos of the procedure the dealership is nearly refusing to bleed the hydraulic system using a vacuum pump because they don't have one.
If those that know your bikes mechanics so well can tell me if it's important to bleed the hydraulic clutch system with a vacuum pump it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. You don't NEED a vacuum pump. It just makes it a lot easier and more reliable. You can bleed it by hand. You just have to be sure when you do. You can use a large syringe too.
And they should using Clutch fluid too. Not Dot 4. The clutch fluid is Vitam LS or Vitamol 10.
I am a BMW Technician at a major dealer. PM me if you need any specific info and I'll try and help you if I can.
