Clutch Bleed

[kanhulk13]

Sorry for the noob question...first time I am doing the full maintenance on the bike.
'99 GS 1150 23.000 km
I have done the full service this weekend (eng oil, filter, gear & diffl fluid chg, brake bleed, spokes, valve adj).
All that is left is the throttle bodies (tonight) and clutch bleed.

How do you get to the clutch cylinder to bleed?
It's behind the shock...what do I have to remove to get to it?

The clutch bleed unit is cable tied to the rear subframe, on the R/H side top tube alongside the brake light connector just next to the fuse box. It should have a piece of foam tube around it.

You may need to get a bleed nipple if one hasn't been fitted already.

Don't bother to get the BM bleed nipple as it costs about £5ish
Just go to a car factors and get a nipple - 11mm I think but not too sure.

Thanks...I actually have a 'speed bleeder' nipple (for the bike), so that should simplify things in the future.
