Had a small leak from the clutch bleeder valve after a ride today. I can find plenty of threads about the leak from the weep hole and the upgraded cover but nothing about leaks from the valve. Any ideas? Thanks Bike has about 550 miles. | ||

The same thing happened to me after the first time that I had the leaky clutch fixed. Is it leaking out through the hole in the top of the bleeder valve or around the threads? Mine was leaking from around the threads. It seems like it is tightened all the way, but will go farther. I was able to get about 1 1/2 turns on it and it seemed like it was tight, but leaked again. After a couple more rides, I tightened it again and was able to get another turn on the bleeder valve. It quit leaking after that. Of course the weep hole started leaking again after that, but has been fixed now. I hope this helps. I originally did not mess with it because I was afraid I would tighten it too much and break it off in the cover, but when I went to the dealer, the one and only Buell tech was out and would not be back for a couple days, so I could not take it any more and decided to go for glory.
