tedd1 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 Keep it up, keep the master cylinder full and you should get there...eventually Quote
Drewski Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 pump the lever then release the bleeder but close it before the lever bottoms out. continue until you have brakes Quote

First of all front or rear? If your doing the front brakes buy a Mighty Vac at your local automotive store for about $40. It will take you all day + if you pump and bleed and probably wont get any where. A might vac you can be done in 15-20 minutes. If your working the rear brakes you can pump and bleed with no problem.

250Rho Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 itl take a long time youve got a lot of hose to fill with fluid and the master cylender dosent pump air very well takes me forever to do my bikes with integrated rear brakes once u start to get fluid to bubble up it goes fast Quote
DallasGDub Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Sounds liek your doing it right. Good luck, maybe you can ride next summer. I will never bleed front brakes again without a vac tool. I am only 34, I would like to ride before I am 60. Rear is easy peasy. Quote
TwistedSheeRida Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 haha i tried doin mine a couple months back prob wasted like 2 hrs of my life and got no where i still have to do it but it pisses me off Quote
AUSSIE BANSHEE Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 I also had the same trouble. I found that just one stroke of the master cylinder and then crack the bleeder worked best for me, i think if you keep pumping it it sucks the air backout of the other line. Slow and steady, just do one side at a time. Good Luck. Quote
