I found the brake fluid reservoir (Driver side under the Air Filter) and I know how to flush and replace the fluid but I am sad to admit I can't find the actual cap/entrance and can't figure how to get the Filter case Off either.

I believe the plug is between the two connectors. See attached exploded view of the MC.

I actually am looking for the Cap to the reservoir itself. I Found it though. It's under the Air Filter case, drivers side. I didn't notice the ridiculously small Hex screws holding it down. Thanks much though.
