Anybody thought about using a small vacuum pump & reservoir to bleed
the tranny? I read about a guy doing this to change th fork oil on his bike,
and it's similar to what some of the local shops do for tranny fluid
changes.

I've been thinking about trying this when my tranny's ready for it's first
change, but I'm not sure how well it'll work on a 45 RFE (these supposedly
have two fluid "loops", one for shifting and one for cooling).

Any thoughts?
