The clutch doesn't release completely and the trike tends to creep ahead. Probably a simple procedure to most of you, but I just need a little help here. I changed the fluid. I now need to bleed the system. Thanks. Owen.

Air in the line, yes that's what I think may be the problem. Now, I'll bleed it in the morning and hope that fixes it. And I also removed the old fluid from the reservoir and refilled it.

All of the above is good for bleeding out your clutch but no one has mentioned that you DO NOT fill the resevoir all the way.The engine heat makes the fluid expand and since it has no where to go it pushes on the clutch and causes it to slip.You only need to fill it to about 1/4 of the sight glass.
