Bill there are several threads on this subject, but provided you have the capabilities of a contortionist, it shouldn't be too difficult.

The master is at the top of the clutch pedal behind the panel which has to be released by taking the two lower screws out then wrenching it from the grips at the top.

To assist in turning the cap on top of the master, it has been found helpful to assist it's anti-clockwise motion with the use of a hammer/mallet and large flat headed screwdriver to tap it round.

Inside one should find what is referred to as a condom, this must be removed to check and/or replenish with fluid (which I understand to be Dot4). Using a finger feel for the level, and start with only filling halfway if it needs it, as the condom will have to be refitted. The test for you, if you accept, is to use something akin to a syringe or tube to place fluid into the top of the master - blindfolded.

A Haynes manual is really useful for a guide but not always 100% accurate, especially in this, the brake fluid reservoir does not replenish the clutch system.

Good luck
