Clutch bleed nipple - free

Post by challey »

I recently changed the clutch fluid - a first for me as I had the dealer do it before. It is a relatively easy job and I took pictures that I can post if anyone's interested.

Anyway, I somehow acquired 2 clutch bleed nipples (P/N 34 21 2 330 310) along the way. Obviously, only one is needed so I have a spare that should go to a good home. If anyone's interested, PM me and I'll send it on.

A releated question: I left the bleed nipple in place afterward rather than removing it and putting the grub screw back. Is this OK? The bleed nipple comes with a rubber cover like the ones on the brake bleed nipples, so it seems like it's meant to stay in place.

PM Sent. :)

I've hear of other's leaving the bleed nipple in the bike, but quite frankly, I don't understand why it wasn't on the bike in the first place! :?
