I have a 2016 R1200RT that I need bleed the clutch fluid on. I can't find any good sources on just how to get to the bleeder valve. Its behind the starter as it looks. Does the starter need to come out (if that's even possible) ? does anyone have any information/instruction ? service manuals seem pretty vague on this subject.
Thanks good people!!

Re: Clutch bleed
Yes the starter hast to come out and apparently as does the slave cylinder
I think there is a frame rail in the way that stops you bleeding it in its position

Re: Clutch bleed
Found this for an R1200R, https://www.r1200rforum.com/threads/201 ... eed.52025/ may be similar to an RT.

Re: Clutch bleed
Yes tell me about it! I was looking to change the clutch fluid on mine!
I might give the one David posted a go too. Although I suspect I can get in there with a tube and draw the fluid through with my vacuum pump
