Clutch Bleeder Valve
Been searching the web and as a Newbie motorcycle rider and having a a 2002 Voyager XII, where is the clutch bleeder valve. Everything I find just “says” where it is, and the pics I have in the manual still leave me scratching my head.
Yes, the question is THAT SIMPLE.
Laugh if you must and feel free to rag on me. As long as there is one forgiving member here willing to answer like they’re showing their 2 year old for the first time.
Thanks in advance

Re: Clutch Bleeder Valve
Behind the big aluminum cover (by the oil fill cap) on the left side, by the left driver's footpeg. Then look down and to the left, you'll see the clutch slave cylinder, it's kinda round and has a bleeder valve just like the brake calipers.

Re: Clutch Bleeder Valve
The one that is circled? I am finally going to get a chance to tackle my brakes and the clutch this weekend.

No, the oval shaped one right above the footpeg, with the shift pattern embossed on it.

I recommend looking this stuff up in the manual instead. It's available in GrandpaDenny's signature:glvnthedream wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 4:55 pmBeen searching the web and as a Newbie motorcycle rider and having a a 2002 Voyager XII, where is the clutch bleeder valve.

Re: Clutch Bleeder Valve
Thanks for that recommendation. I have a manual, but the picture wasn't very helpful actually finding the bleeder valve.
