Clutch creeping? What is this?

I just bought a 88 750 Paso from my buddy. So far, i runs pretty good. I took it for a jaunt around San Francisco, and the clutch started swelling maybe? I had the clutch handle all the way to the hand grip, and the bike started creeping forward. I also couldn't get the bike into neutral if my life depended on it.
My friend said something about bleeding the clutch, and apparently this was a known problem for Paso's. Does anybody know how I fix this, or at least keep up on the problem?

Thanks!

New Paso Owner.

Bleeding the clutch is, in theory a simple task. The reality is, it can be a bitch!!

There's 2 ways to do it:

Pump and bleed or vacuum bleed. Take a look at this "pump and bleed" and see if you get it. The cutch is done in the exact same way.

With proper bleeding the clutch will be perfect.
