If you mean the numbers on the knurled disc, example below is xjr1300, they are for adjusting clutch reach (how far the lever sits from the handlebars)

Has the random word generator developed a fault?

Why wouldn't a 2020 not be covered under the factory warranty? Let the dealership fix it. Matter of fact, they might say, "you tampered with it, we won't warranty your mistakes!"

The fact you saw a geyser of brake fluid, suggests to me that the master cylinder is working normally. What is the level of resistance? In this case, to mis-quote The Borg, "resistance is not-futile." If you have a normal amount of resistance and the bike can roll with it in-gear and the clutch pulled-in, that appears to show the clutch is working. This is a Gen. 1 but the function is the same, this is doing a reverse-bleed, but with the bleeder closed, a pull of the clutch lever should produce a geyser.

Agree, my stockers did that. Completely normal.
