Brake Bleeding Tips
Posted : Oct 14th, 2009-dangerdan /ONTARIO
This all started because I thought my front brakes were leaking. I loosened the bleeder nut for 5 seconds only. Now I am Looking for a 2nd opinion b4 I follow the recommended tip for this thread. THIS IS WHAT I DONE TO BLEED FRONT BRAKES (Dual front brakes)Remove resevoir top first.1)slowly squeeze brake lever.2)open bleeder nut and observe brake fluid for bubbles3)when brake lever has no more travel , tighten bleeder nut and release brake lever.Iniatialy there were a few bubble, but after one resevoir fill, I only saw clear fliuid. (BOTH SIDES WERE CHECKED)Brake lever is hard as a rock at about 1/2 travelWhat bothered me was that after doing step 3 for the last time, I squeezed the brake lever and it bottomed out, but after 5 minutes the brake lever became solid as rock at 1/2 travel. Its now 24 hrs after the fact and the brake lever is still solid as a rock at 1/2 travel. The bike is not ready for a road test for at least 2-3 days.DOT 5 (SILICON) was used.ANY OPINIONS ?
