Anyone know the correct way to bleed the front calipers on our bikes. Fixing to put brake fluid into the master cylinder and need to know how to bleed the calipers. Never done dual calipers before, so any info is appreciated.
You don't need any pump. At first bleed with the system open. You need to plug a clear hose on the bleeding nipple and dump it in a can (old drinking bottle will do the job if you don't have the proper one) The important thing is the hose need to go all the way to the bottom of the can (fully submerge in the fluid). Pump the brake and add fluid until you don't see any bubbles, then close the bleeder. DON'T OVER-TIGHT! Then do the other side if you have 2 calipers. (Same process). Don't forget to top off the reservoir as you pump. If the level is too low you will suck some air in the system and you will need to start all over again.I imagine you may need to utilize a hand held vacuum pump bleeder, they have them at Harbor Freight. I've used them on cars & light trucks, but not on a motorcycle. Just a guess...
