ssanddemon Posted December 30, 2005 Report Posted December 30, 2005 This is real common on all bikes, not just shees due to the tiny size of the brake fluid openings in the system; they are just too small to let bubbles escape easily. The best thing to do is buy an inexpensive hand vacuum pump from your local auto parts store. Hook up the vacuum line to the brake bleed nipple, open the nipple and apply vacuum. This will forcibly suck the air out. Another thing I have heard is to take a thin rubber (like surgical) glove, and zip-tie it over the open brake fluid reservior. Cut off the end of one of the fingers and blow it up like a ballon, then crack open the brake bleeder. It will force the air thru the system. Quote
