My manual is with the repair shop who is fitting new suspension bushes and steering joints. Perhaps he will refer to it when doinf the wheel alignment or fitting the wishbone bush with the slot in it...
Anyway, I've had to strip my MC some time ago, and made up a pressure bleeder. It is just a hose with a one way valve fitted, and I've used a fishtank valve for it. You might say that I'm too cheap to buy one, but where I am they are expensive. Anyway, this makes bleeding easy and perfect, especially with a clear hose so that you can see the bubbles. No need for an assistant either.
Before starting, just remove the brakes imballance switch. If you don't, you might apply too much pressure and break the shaft of the switch. And yes, there should not be any brake fluid in there. With the switch removed you might cause a leak if doing the traditional 2 man bleeding, but not with a pressure bleeder. Actually "pressure" is the wrong word, as it is more of a non-return bleeding process and creates much less pressure than the 2-man process. You just fit the hose, open the nippel, and pump the brakes.
Have fun...
