I changed the clutch fluid in the reservoir on my GPZ1100 and bled it until the biting point was about half way through the lever travel. after a day of riding, the biting point is right by the handle bar. I can't see anything obviously leaking, so could it be the seal inside the clutch slave cylinder and the fluid is just building up inside the engine case?

The only way to answer that question would be to have a look.

I do wonder if you've fully bled it though, you should be getting pressure from the very top of the lever action. If there is air left in the system, it'll be decidedly odd and will do odd things. Bleed it until no air comes out.

Bleeding the thing should remove all air from the circuit. It shouldn't "adjust the bite point". What else if anything can be changed o be worn? It might be worth looking inside the casing, but if it wasn't leaking before changing the fluid, why has it suddenly changed?

Sorted it...I think the seal had maybe dried out letting in air. Replaced the seal and sorted it out 😀😀😀
