    I think the bleed nipple is on the cylinder head, not sure if its on the pump itself as I only bled my old gilly 50 once and I done it the incorrect way by just filling the water tank and running the engine with the water bottle cap off for a few mins, then topped it up.

    Although that did work and the bike never overheated, its still not the correct way, do a search!

    fill the collant, leave the cap off, on the top part of the head (the highest point) theres a nipple, undo it and air will hiss out, wait til you have a continuous flow of water from there ( no air what soever then tighten it), then top the collant bottle back up to where it should be

    2 min job
