I installed two inch risers. The clutch hydraulic line is behind a wire that is wire tied to the ignition switch housing on the lower left side, reducing the amount of slack available. I would like to disconnect the hydraulic line from the clutch resevoir and run it under the wire, reconnect and bleed. My question is if I do not depress the clutch handle, will I have to bleed the resevoir also or just do a normal bleed on the clutch line?

I'm guessing you'll need to do both regardless.
Have you chased down the wire to see if it can be unplugged or disconnected and reconnected?

You shouldn't have to disconnect the clutch line for 2 inch risers. Just reposition the junction blocks. In fact the risers should have holes drilled for this purpose. I have 2 inch risers with another 1 inch up and 1 1/4 back on top of that with the original clutch and break lines in place. Here's an example of repositioning the junction block:

+1... 2" plus wedges and I didn't have to mess with mine. Find the routing down in front of the triple and you can locate loops for the wires and cables. Undo those and rearrange to give you more slack, using zipties if necessary. Be sure to rotate the bars side to side and ensure that you don't bind or pinch anything.

Have the exact same setup mentioned above.
There's a metal wire hose guide that holds the clutch hose on the neck of the frame that needs to be flipped.
Turn your bars to the right and shine a flashlight down behind the left fork tube on the frame and you can't miss it. It's silver and held on by two 10mm bolts. What you want to do is flip this guide so that the hoop for the hose is at the top rather than at the bottom. This is right in the instructions with the 2" Heli brand risers.
