Presently working on the K1200RS and having a problem with understanding how the cllutch fluid should be changed.
I do have the Clymer manual BMW K1200RS, GT & LT 1998-2005 looking at page 180.
At the end of the bleed hose is a crimped fitting (#3) . Attached to the crimped fitting is a part about 1" long not including the external thread that screw into the crimp fitting (#2) . This part has what looks like a set screw in the end (#1). When trying to remove the set screw (#1) the 5mm allen key stripped the hex out. I removed the 1" long piece (#2) from the crimp fitting (#3) thinking fluid would drip out. No fluid even when I pull in the clutch handle?
The dealer sold me a bleed screw BMW part number 34 21 2 330 310 (#4) to do this project. Is this bleed screw to be used with 1" long fitting (#2) or directly into the fitting crimped to the end of the hose?
Waht is the proper way to bleed clutch?
