The jets associated with Galactic micro-quasars are believed to be ejected by accreting stellar mass black-holes or neutron stars. We show that if the energy content of the jets in the transient sources is dominated by electron-proton plasma, then a several hour outburst of 1--100 TeV neutrinos produced by photo- meson interactions should precede the radio flares associated with major ejection events. Several neutrinos may be detected during a single outburst by a 1km^2 detector, thereby providing a powerful probe of micro-quasars jet physics.
