I too started with the clutch but kept the reservoir and MC full of new fluid throughout the entire process.

One thing I should have mentioned in the original post is that after I finished the clutch and rear calipers, I found that the front bleeder nipples were too large for my hose (that just doesn't sound right...). Anyway, the autoparts stores were closed for the night and I got a larger hose the next morning. I left the Motiv connected to the reservoir overnight with about 15psi. I wanted to leave it sealed so that the new fluid wouldn't be exposed to air. Probably shouldn't have left it pressurized though. When I came out with the new hose, it had leaked some fluid at the reservoir connection. I reset the pressure, found no leaks, and finished the job. Perhaps air got in the system in that process?
