I let BK change the oil in my clutch and brakes.. No way will I have a go at this.

no. if it's what i think you mean (difficult without pictures).

I am describing the big rubbery thing that sits under the reservoir cap. it will pull out. if you are putting fluid on top of it, none will be entering the brake system at all.
pull it out and sort of flatten it back to shape. fill the reservoir up and try bleeding again.

if possible post a picture here so i am confident i am giving you the correct info.

that sounds like a rubber dust/air seal under the screw on cap - need to lift that to put the fluid in :)

If he's putting it on here the dust/air seal he's got a couple of mil of fluid

But if something goes wrong and you have an accident, you only have yourself to blame.. Cost of repairs etc... 

But by having a dealer do it, anything goes wrong it's down to them and off to court to sue them if I'm still alive..

i trust myself

Changing hydraulic fluid isn't really difficult.  You just have to be tidy and careful and do it sensibly

A newbie came on the zzr forum im on ( usa ) asking how to change his spark plugs, a few guys tried to help him . His posts became more and more worrying, he asked where his spark plugs were and what they looked like. Some member advised him that if he followed his HT leads towards the engine he would find them, after his final post entitled " what is an HT lead ? " the helpful members caved in,

" Dude ! if you don't fricking know what a frickin HT lead is, are you the best person to be frickin messin with your bike? really!"

another newbie came on stating that his mate had advised him to change his engine oil and then flush the old oil out , run it for 10 mins, reflush and refill with new oil, he told us that he had put the garden hose on full water  into his crankcase and for some reason the engine had seized!
