Default clutch master pre bled?

Just got my new clutch master in today. Came complete with new resevoir and slave line. Also it is already filled with fluid. Is that normal? Does this mean I have to bleed it still.

Yeah, mine is full with fluid as well. I imagine it's bled pretty well, but I'm going to bleed it again just to be sure. Plus, when you crack the bleeder on the slave to snap on the master, it can ingest some air down in the slave and work its way around.

well I planned on bleeding the entire assembly once I get it back together. I was more concerned with bench bleeding first. Anyone else?

Bench bleeding is messy, but in the long run, can save you alot of time and or headaches!
