You will have to take the exhaust mounts (right side motor and back of transmission) loose and loosen the flange nuts at the ports, then you should be able to pull it out enough to get the cover off. If not, take the muffler to saddlebag frame bolts out on the left side. That will give you a little more play.

 

 

 

 

Need aftermarket cover with a little trap door that would allow access. OR re-engineered totally look at all the recalls for various reasons from 14 until now.

 

I guess I will do this only once. Will run it without the cover or modify the cover so it comes off without loosening the exhaust. Too much work to simply get to the bleeder screw. I will install an AIM slave as well since I am on the recall list. May as well put a nicer slave in it while I'm at it. Waiting to see what some people say after getting the replacement if it makes a difference in clutch pull and where the friction zone is.

Thanks guys for your responses.

 

 

You could always notch the cover and install a steel line to extend the bleeder port to external. I wouldn't do it, but it's an idea.
