Just checked the level and it is fine, it's over half way to maximum.
I'll recheck again at a later date, but I don't think there is a leak.
What is the procedure to bleed? Cap off, pump footbrake and clutch, or something totally different? I assume the reservoir to be the highest point in the system...
It has resistance on all gears, it's just more noticeable going into first from a standstill as the engine is at idle speed. If I bring the engine speed up a touch before going into gear, it becomes slightly easier.
