Did a google search and couldn't find it....

What I gather is so just bleed the clutch...no biggie. What I also gather is to do the R caliper, then L, the back. Does this sound about right? :question:

Few tips:
  • When bleeding be sure to put the covers loosely on the reservoirs. Because when pumping the levers, fluid will squirt up and out!
  • Keep a close eye on the clutch fluid level because it will run try really quick
  • Yes, the order is right front, left front, and then rear.
  • Keep a close eye on the clutch fluid level because it will run try really quick
