Talking Intruder 1400 TLC

Ok. This sort of messaging is new stuff to me but anyhow. Recently bought a 2000 Intruder with low miles on it. Been encouraged to change out all fluids. Since it has basically sat for 7 years.
Oil change, I know how to do. The clutch fluid is getting dark and really needs attention. I know where to add the dot4 fluid but where is the bleeder valve located? I don't plan to run the system dry. At present do not have a good shop manual. But hopefully that's in the works soon. Till then, this needs attention. Anyone out there done this maintenance before? I'd sure like some pointers. Just got the winshield on it this am. Wow. What a great change... much warmer for this time of year. Ok then. Thanks for reading.

Welcome. You're doing well by simply having filled out your profile. That's better than most!

I'm moving this to the Intruder forum for more exposure to get your question answered.

The clutch bleeder is on the slave cylinder, located under the chrome cover on the left side of the engine, just behind the generator cover.

These instruction are for the Intruder 800, but they are close enough to work.
My instruction for clutch bleeding
