If you use the blue brake fluid you will know when you are done when the new color appears in your drain tube.

This may spark some debate as there are different opinions about the best order of operations, but this is how I do it and it seems to work for me.

This method worked well for me too.
Had to bleed the clutch a couple of time because it felt like air got in the first time. Bleeder screw was kind of a PITA to get at, but a stubby wrench did the deed. Used Pedro's DIY.
The brakes were really easy in comparison.
I used Super Blue fluid and my Motive bleeder left no traces of amber fluid in the system at all when I was finished.
