Not sufficiently familiar with NG900s to comment with confidence, but they are very similar to 9k clutches, which I am familiar with. Pressure bleeding will remove the air. It works very well on 9ks and C900s. Either buy a pressure bleeding kit, or make one out of a £10 garden sprayer. Great for brakes too. -- Grunff
