ikikazz Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 Well i am in the stages of finishing my shee i put the brakes on and tried to bleed them for a good 45 minutes and they WILL NOT BLEED it is starting to piss me off so if you have any tricks PLEASE let me know it will be much appreaciated (is that how you spell it??) ohh well mike Quote
streetshee Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 yeh,sometimes it takes a lot of patience,ok,take the top off the brake fluid holder,top it up with fluid(never let it go below min)pump the lever 3-5 times(carefully cos ya dont want it all over the place) on the last pump hold the lever in,at same time open the bleed nipple then close it before you let the lever go,then pump another 3-5 times,hold it in,open nipple,close nipple,pump........... and so on. do this minimum 10-15 times each side,be carefull the fluid level doesnt go to low or ur back to square one!! paitience is the virtue.

yamaha350 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 who needs brakes? just drag your feet. Quote
MRMOONEY Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 try acutally opening the bajo fitting where the line connects, it saves alot of time, then when fluid starts coming out use the bleeder. Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 its a lot easier with 2 ppl. one to work the brake lever and one to open the bleeder valve. have a buddy help you. Quote
Bigairee Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 Run a hose from the bleeder into container. Ensure that brake fluid is above the bottom of the hose. Open the bleeder, keep the reservior full and pump until no air comes out. After that go back to the norman way of bleeding brakes. Quote
