You know, I just did mine...I did remove the left upper cowling to get to mine but that's all I did. That's on an 08. Have no idea on 10 or above.
And don't forget that there are two bleeders on the back brake, one on the inside and one on the outside of the caliper.
I don't believe you have to take off the tupperware to get to the clutch bleeder. It's right in front of and above the shifter. Right by the Idle adjuster.
+1 No need to remove any plastic to bleed the clutch.
You just want people to go in their garage and pull the clutch lever to see if the doors go up or down, don't you? Well, I tried and they didn't go up or down. I hope you are happy!
I just did mine yesterday and no need to remove any Tupperware unless your bored and just need something extra to do...Funny thing though intermittently my garage door would close when pulling in the clutch lever during the bleeding process... I was very surprised and thought it must be a neighbor or something playing a joke on me but nope. It would happen over and over only when pulling in the clutch lever... I took the key fob and cell phone in the house to ensure they were not the problem and it continued whenever I pulled in the clutch. I just gave up and unplugged the garage door opener until I completed the job. Crazy electronic things!! lol
I believe the manual says change the clutch and brake fluid every two years. I noticed on my morning ride, that the color of the brake fluid still looks clear while looking at it through the little site window. but the clutch fluid is very dark, almost black looking through the plastic window.only had the bike for 10 month, almost 10k miles on it. should the clutch fluid be changed more often or just go the two years?
That's a rare optional factory feature. Consider yourself lucky! Now tell us, does it work from outside the garage too?
Nope won't do it outside the garage and now that Iv'e unplugged the opener for awhile the problem has not reappeared. Very strange.....
Your SO wasn't giggling for no apparent reason when you got back in the house was she?
