    When pulling brake fluid with a syringe some of the air you see is coming past the bleed nipple thread, so it's deceiving..... you think your getting lots of air but some of it's from outside of the brake system.
    You might never stop seeing air even though the system is bled.

    On the Yamaha WR, I found that by removing the master cylinder, elevating it, and pumping the lever, I can get all of the air out by just doing this. I suspect that because the WR has a longer break line with a high point in it for headlight clearance, this spot allows air bubbles to build up that are hard to get remove. Elevating the master cylinder gets rid of this air trap and allows for easy bleeding. Your tips on fluid removal are spot on and helpful.

      Hey! Elevating it so that the brake line becomes straight?

    Canal muito bom... Keep going ;) Como ideia para um vídeo sugiro um vídeo onde abordes que óleo usas para mistura na 2 tempos, qual a percentagem que usas e experiência que possas ter tido com várias marcas de óleos e com que regularidades vais fazendo a inspeção dos diversos componentes

    By doing it this way you are actually pumping some of the old fluid back into the system!

    Dumb question. By doing what I just watched does that also work for the rear break ?

      @StepstoPodium  4 роки тому +1

      there are never dumb questions if that helps you understand any topic!
      if you do this on the front brake, it only affect the front brake, if you do this on the rear brake, it only affects the rear brake 😊

    Hi there mate got a kx85 rear brake is really soft Iv bleed the rear brake but it still won’t work as it when pressing the rear brake it won’t stop the wheel at all. Any suggestions?

    • @StepstoPodium
      @StepstoPodium  4 роки тому

      you have to build pressure inside the system, only to bleed the system in not enough! if after that it still doesn't has pressure, you might have a faulty brake piston which is letting oil through the seals, keeping from building pressure

    Absolutely terrible and incorrect method. Reverse bleed is fine but don’t do it like this!!!
