Thank so much I just put a new line on and it's been 30 minutes trying to get the air out. Very little brake pressure and still alot of bubbles left. Going to try this tomorrow. Seems way easier the anything else I am trying
Did you change pad brad or material type? It can make a difference if you use ceramic and metallic pads. Also if you got any break fluid on the pads while you were changing them can effect it.
thanks for the video. My bike's brake fluid flush is long overdue, and I am thinking on using this method, just the other way around, mean sucking all the old fluid from the reservoir, topping it with fresh fluid, and sucking it from the caliper using a syringe and a hose... your method seems fine, but I fear pushing air into the system, my bike has ABS and I hear that if any air bubble make it into the ABS pump, pushing them out can be a pain in the a*se... what you reckon?
Fucking love it! It's a beast 💪💪. I did the get ECU and fmf pipe and that helped get rid of the tame feeling they have stock. I'll have a 70 hour review and a pipe/ECU video coming out in a couple weeks.
This wasn't a fluid change, just a bleed operation to get air out. But, to change the fluid, you can do the same thing, but suction out the reservoir first.
Spent 3 hours last night doing this and it just won’t build pressure. I know the lines and everything are fine too because it was such a strong brake before I had to slightly move the cable and I opened the banjo bolt a tiny bit and then the air screwed everything up. Idk why I can’t get pressure back now.
In my experience BACK BLEEDING is the ultimate method to save time, money and sanity while getting optimum performance. Still shocked how many veterans do it the old school marathon way with gravity bleed.
The best tutorial o bleeding the front brakes I've seen! THANKS!!
After trying many methods to bleed my front brake line after air entered the system, this was the ONLY practical method that worked...many thanks!
Glad it helped. I know the pain of bleeding brakes and getting nowhere haha 😂

@WannaBes worked like a charm. About 1 min and full brakes again. Best way yet
Do you need to depress and hold the rear brake before opening the valve to "squirt" the fluid in from the bottom?
My back brakes on my Kx250f I changed the pads and now there not near as touchy? Any idea?

How are you liking your 500 in single track and rocky trails

How did this work even though there was still old fluid up top?

@@ExtremeSportsWannaBes ok thank you
how you solve the problem with air when you refill the seringe, for sure you will have some air in the hose, or the niple of seringe?
get a bigger syringe 60ml work perfectly
