same way you bleed the brake lines....

open bleeder valve, pull clutch, close bleeder, release clutch, repeat until
it feels right

using a bleeder hose into a jar of fluid makes life easier as it wont suck
any air back into the system (available at KMart,etc for < $10)

Try this one for a quick and easy fix
This will work fine as long as you dont have any leaks, if you are going
through clutch fluid then you have leaks! get it fixed properly.
If you don't have leaks simply get yourself a cable tie or panduit strap or
string and pull the clutch lever all the way in and secure it with the cable
tie or whatever.
Now leave the bike overnight and with them ports open the air will bleed
out. Cut the cable tie off and operate the lever a few times and you are
back on the road again.
If this does not work then you probably have a leak or blocked ports in the
clutch master cylinder. Either way you are gonna have to pull things apart,
clean em up in metho, put it back together and bleed it the old fashoned
way.
