ok just drained out old fluid and replaced with the proper mineral oil fluid and bled the conventional way like a brake lever and a pipe into a jar with fluid in from the lower clutch bleed niple, everything seems ok but ive just noticed the bleed nipple at the lever /master cylinder end on the magura unit on the bars , do i need to bleed this as well ? i havent yet but all i did was top up with fresh and bleed through till all clean fluid was present and it seems ok , cheers fellas
Should be fine the way you did it. The top bleeder will take air out of the master cylinder if you started dry. If it is a bit smushy it would not hurt to check for air there. But if you have good clutch feel you are done
I opened the top nipple when I changed the clutch line. It was easier to do this way since the line was dry, but to just replaced the fluid, you will be fine by not opening it....
