hello fellow Rocketeers.... anybody know the procedure to bleed the clutch (and where the bleed nipple is)?
 
Bleeder is located behind engine near bottom and is a ***** to get to. Would think bleeding be necessarily yet, if so use Dot 4 brake fluid.

It is a mechanical clutch, so nothing to bleed.

Yeah, I find myself first looking at a members avatar block to check their ride, then looking to see what forum i'm in before answering questions nowadays! Have typed up more than a few "answers" then realizing they're talking about a 2.5, deleted/changed them.

I agree about taking it to big T and making them deal. Unless like me, your nearest dealer is either a good distance OR you wouldn't trust their service guys to adjust your mirrors!

The slave cylinder is in front of the engine, as is the clutch, i find it strange the bleeding nipple should be behind the engine?? Do you mean behind the radiator?
 
OK, so a brief update as I now have fuller knowledge and the original question is answered, thanks all... and to set the record straight and put your minds to rest..
1. I did not buy the ex-demo bike locally
2. I want to fit the GT bars which requires changing of the upper clutch hydraulic hose.
3. I have the parts in my hand and there is a long lead time for a local dealer to fit
4. The bleed nipple on the slave cylinder is behind a bolted on cover, which is behind the radiator, not the lower cowling.
5. My local dealer is ace and even supplied the special tool required to remove the handlebar cluster

I'll report back!
 
Yeah behind radiator, I shouldn't post in early am, not awake yet
