Front brake help
Front brake help
I know its probably on here somewhere but since the search dont work, figure ill ask again. I changed the brake lines and i am wondering which part to i bleed first? Do i bleed the master cylinder or brakes themselves? Or does it even matter? Its and 05 cbr1000rr.
Re: Front brake help
fill your master cylinder. Crack the lines at the calipers, let fluid run out for a few minutes, go up to your splitter do the same after you tightened the caliper bolts. Now do the same to the master. Finally compress your calipers with your knees grab the wheel and push in with your knees or whatever. As long as you get the pistons compressed now pump up and do over a few times. It is a lot easier to backbleed air escapes up much easier than trying to force down. With out a vaccum speed bleeder you are almost guranteed to get trapped air in your lines trying to gravity bleed.
