I did this this 2 cycles and got most of the dirty fluid out but Im sure there are still lots of crap inside. I made sure the level of the fluid was right at the top line on the dip stick.
After I noticed that the steering got more stiff.
My question is, when doing the bleeding, was I supposed to leave the reservoir cap opened??? (thinking it may be air bubbles in the system)
Also, can it also be because the reservoir filter is clogged this eliminating the flow?
Thanks

Did you solve the problem because I have the exact same problem? The cap says atf. And that's what I put in. The fluid inside was black and dirty so I don't know if it was red oil.
