Does anyone know where I can get the bleed nipple you use to bleed the clutch fluid? Mine looks like its been attacked by someone with some vice grips. Flats on it are all chewed up. Guzzi will not supply it seperatley. Only whole unit it screws into which costs $NZ385. Would like to get a replacement before I remove it.Any ideas?

It'll be either an 8 x 1.25 or 10 x 1.5 nipple as used on Brembo brakes. Take the old one out and take it to a brake and clutch place they should be able to match it up on the spot otherwise Brembo brake nipples are available separately from the usual sources. If you have problems gimme a hoy and I'll post one over to you if you can't get any joy from MotoKiwi or your local blokes.

Speed Bleeder makes a model for out clutch.It's slightly long and I had mine ground down a couple mm's and works great.

Hi
You might want to soak the three countersunk mounting screws in WD40 or Plus-Gas before attacking them too, because they have a very small head, and will have seen the full effect of thrown up road dirt for some years......... mine came out fairly easily after 5 years but.....?
Wish I was living in NZ....
Cheers
