There should be a master cylinder on your left bar, and a bleed nipple (I'm not sure where, though your manual should show it, and if not, you could acquire a service manual online).
Get a bleeder kit, they're about 20 bucks and will save you making a mess.
It's often helpful to put a rag in a donut-shape around your master cylinder, to protect your bike in case you spill any fluid. (It'll damage paint)
Connect the bleeder tubing from the kit to the nipple and run it into a container. Syringe out as much fluid as you can from the MC, then put a little fluid in and do the following:
- Crack open the nipple (just enough so that when you squeeze the lever it lets fluid out - should be about a quarter turn)
- Squeeze lever.
- Close nipple
- Release lever
Repeat these steps until you see the new, clear fluid flowing out the bleeder tubing, making sure you've always got fluid in your MC (bleeding air out of the lines is a *****). Retighten the bleed nipple, disconnect the hose, and wipe off any fluid with a rag. Then fill up your MC to the line, chuck the cap back on, and you're good to go.
Check out some youtube vids to get your head around it first.
How can you change the clutch fluid in a 2002 gsxr and where is the spout located to fill it?
There is no clutch fluid. Modern bikes have a %26quot;wet clutch%26quot;, meaning that the clutch is bathed in oil from the crankcase. This way, the oil in the clutch gets changed every 3,000 miles, and it takes the additional manufacturing process of making a clutch fluid tank.

The %26quot;clutch fluid%26quot; is actually brake fluid and it bleeds just like the brakes do..... start at the bottom bleeder and keep adding fluid to the top as the level goes down until the same color fluid comes out the bottom. -and thats it.............. its flushed and changed.
I would have thought a motorcycle mechanic would know what you were talking about....
