The air thats trapped in the system will eventually make its way upto the MC, displacing a little bit of brake fluid in the process, which then loweres the level by a small amount.
Oh and I recommend having the bike on the side stand while you do the above, so the MC is the highest point in the brake system and provides less restrictive path for the air bubbles to travel (It cant hurt).
