Brake Bleeding Made Simple

[chopper]

If you have one of those problem brake systems that you just can't get bled properly, try this......
After you have bled the calipers good, turn the bars all the way left, then tie your brake lever in the "squeezed" position with a bungee or the like, fill the master cylinder and go to bed. In the morning before you release the lever, tap around the outside of the cylinder and line with a hammer handle and watch inside the cylinder at the bubbles that come up in the fluid , test your brakes and make sure all is OK then go ride!

And also Here's some info on bleeding the brakes and hydralics on most vehicles... HERE

This is the easiest way I have found to bleed brakes. This takes 15 minutes to do for the front and rear brakes. A very good product I recommend is at Speed Bleeder Bleeding Brakes Bleeding Motorcycle Brakes Automotive Bleeder Screw Brake Bleeder. These are inexpensive and you can easily bleed the brakes by yourself. First take the cap off the master cylinder. Put clear plastic tubing on the caliper bleeder valve nipple and the other end in a bottle or can. Open bleeder valve on caliper. Pump brake lever until the brake fluid is expelled. Fill a marinade injector with new brake fluid. Check that it's free of air by tapping the side and pushing the plunger. Attach to bleeder nipple and fill the lines with brake fluid until master cylinder is full. Pull the injector off, switch the stock bleeder valves with the speedbleeders and pump the brake lever a few time to be sure there is no air. Close speedbleeder and put the master cylinder cover back on and ride.

On my 04 sporty, I used the pump bleeder toold on the rear but could never get any bluid to come out. I ended up forcing fluid back up from the roter with a saringe, very slowly forcing fluid in. when fluid was filling the resavore, I blead back the other way and all is good.
