Hey how do you bleed the clutch....i see a small little rubber cap where the clutch enters the case....i think it is the bleeder for it. Is that correct?
Pics would be great

I do not have the pictures but....

Take cap off the top reservoir, put tube on siringe and suck clutch fluid into it, take cap off lower bleeder on slave cylender, make sure air is out of line in the tube on siringe, push the tube over the lover bleeder on slave, open bleeder with a wrench and then proceed to push fluid from the bottom slave to the top reservoir until the reservoir is almost full, tighten bleeder, I usually actuate the clutch lever with the top cover off, I look for tiny bubbles to come out to the hole in the top reservoir. Once I am satisfied I put the cover back on the reservoir and the slave and proceed to give the quad hell.

Is the bleeder valve built right into the machine?

All the kits say they come with a bleeder valve but it looks to me like there is already a bleeder valve on it and all I would need is a tube with a syringe (plus oil).
