Had my vulcan 13 years now, it's an 05, and I never bleed the system. Siphoned the master cylinder and bleed it every 3 or so years. Just did the pads with some $15 Amazon Chinese stuff, they were legit. Anyways, the lever bottoms out now so my trick to get the air out is to zip tie the brake handle closed overnight. Learned it from a forum 13 years ago when it was new to me and I wanted to do maintenance on it. Worked great. This bike is something, love and hate it.
When you close the valve and feel for lever stiffness/resistance have you previously screwed and tightened the top of the reservoir PRIOR to checking it?
Короче, пацан решил тормозушку поменять в передних цилиндрах. Наверное промыл сначала. Ну и рычагом накачал, краник открыл-слил. Жижу подлил. Вобщем как на машине.

Hi,
Sorry I know it's a simple process but not enough detail for a novice. You've obviously done it before but some of us haven't.
