I found a really good post last week and I cant find it now .

This is what I remember
Cove stuff up , the oil will wreck paint .

I put a clear hose ( fuel line) on the bleeder nipple and ran it into a tupperware tub (dont tell wife)
loosed the nipple but snug it up again.

Tale off the resivoir cap , make sure the fluid does not get low as this will add air to the system .

(again cover stuff around the bars too)

Slowly pull in the clutch lever (if you go fast oil will spray out)
while holding it in crack the nipple . You will feel the clutch lever soften or loosen .
Tighten the nipple back up then let go of the lever .
Repeat this until the oil is comming out of the nipple with no air bubbles .

It took me about 4-6 pulls , It could be a bit more but it shouldnt take say 20 unless you are doing something wrong .

When done snug up the nipple remove hose and make sure you didnt get oil on anything .

That should be it as I remember .

I found that if you pump the clutch lever (somewhat slowly) a couple of times before "holding it in and cracking the nipple" it helps expedite the process.
