Default more on clutch recall

Thanks to Back-n-Black for providing the service bulletin.. It says if the bike passes inspection (no air bubbles present) then there is no need for any further action. I am thinking to check for air bubbles myself and avoid the long trip to dealer if possible. Has anybody done the inspection themselves and what were your findings?

Ok I am sorry to keep obsessing over this, but the service bulletin is clear. No bubbles=button her up and you are done. I removed the clutch master cylinder cover and gently pumped clutch lever after tapping the lever 4 times as service bulletin says. I did this for several cycles. No bubbles. I'm calling it good. Save yourself a trip to the stealer. (This took less than 5 minutes to accomplish)
