Default bleeding clutch?

I pulled the clutch out to put a new alen screw in that was starting to back out.I put nit all back together and adjusted the clutch and it felt fine.After a good ride on the mxtrack it seeamed
the clutch didnt want to grab till the leaver was all the way out.
I am wanting to bleed the clutch and then re-adjust it.
My question is what type of oil do you use in it.And I have heard that if you get a turkey baster or a surenge with a hose conected to the bleeder valve you can just shoot it up thrue the bleader valve till it over flows out the master cylinder it will be air free.
Is this the corect way or what.Thanks in advance.

If you have an owners manual, it tells you how to bleed in there. You have to use a mineral oil and a syringe to push the fluid from the bottom up to the top rezzy. Also if you took the clutch out then you needed to adjust a nut at the clutch basket before closing it up.
