Is there a special way to bleed the front brakes with the dual front brakes or is just like a car? starting with the furthest from the master cyl? just put a new front brake line and bled each side and the lever has alot of travel before it applies the brakes.

Thanks

 

The easiest way to bleed them is to break the valve loose and keep the master cylinder full of fluid while you let gravity push the air out.You can do this by yourself.

 

Take the top off the reservoir, wrap a rubber band or similar around the front brake lever, squeezing it in fully, and leave it all night. RK's are known for getting bubbles in the line, and this works great for me and the guys I know.

 

just like a car i dont know about that closest to the master cyl. thing i just did mine a month ago. i just squeezed the handle about 4 times and hold it down open the bleeder and the lever goes down do it about 4 to 5 tomes for each caliper and u should b good to go. but it would b nice to a extra set of hands so have your wife or friend to b the ones to squeez that lever. always keeping the master full of fluid.

 

Speaking of this procedure, does anyone use SpeedBleeders?

 

Does it have ABS? If it does you can bleed from the ABS ,odule to the calipers no problem, but if you broke the lines between the bars and the ABS module it might be difficult without DTII.

 

Brake fluid is hygroscopic. The method described above may be a temporary fix, but the moisture collected by the brake fluid being exposed to the air overnight may cause worse long term problems.

 

+1 This is the best procedure and good thing it requires very little effort.

 

go to an auto parts store, or a tool supply store, and get a hand held vacuum pump/bleeder , it has a t fitting and hoses , and a reservoir, zip tie the hose around the bleeder, open bleeders, and start pumping the vacuum pump, while filling the res.
couldn't be any easier than that , and it is also awesome on older bikes for replacing the fluid completely.

 

I bought a bleeder kit from HF for $4.99 worked like a charm.
