Clutch bleeding question

[v8legend]

2019 R1250GS. When fitting the auxiliary light switch, I managed to over torque the clamp bolt, so need to fit a new clutch master cylinder. Easy job. However, I can't find how you get to the bleed nipple to bleed it?

I've bought the master cylinder, and the correct mineral hydraulic fluid. Ironically, at the last service, BMW changed all fluids. If only I'd known before hand.

Have to remove the starter motor to get to the slave cylinder with the bleed nipple on it

You might find that you can change the master cylinder and add the hydraulic fluid and the system will not need bleeding.

Believe me. I’ve been tempted to try.

The master cylinder is the highest part in the system therefore you need to empty the reservoir, remove the master cylinder taking the pipe off carefully and keeping it as high as possible, fit the new master cylinder, attach the pipe and fill the reservoir.

If air gets in, lean the bike to the right, tie the lever back to the bar, turn the bars to the right and leave overnight.
