Perfect timing Del, just about to bleed the rear brake on my venerable GL1100 after rebuilding the calliper. Next on the list is bleeding both front and rear systems on my 1977 Z1000 after rebuilding the master cylinders and callipers. I have in the past used a system that attached to the master cylinder and used the air reservoir from a tyre to force the brake fluid through supply lines. Worked pretty well to be honest, but the reverse system shown in your video seems to do the trick nicely. Decided to order one using your link. Ride safe sir.

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Most welcome Michael, I've seen those gadgets too, you can force down or up, it doesn't matter, but in both cases there will always be a little air trapped and the benefit of this syringe is that it can safely draw the contents of the reservoir back out in order to empty it and you can force it back in the bottom end again to get a better and more solid feel... and it was a real value purchase at just a shade over £20.

@michaeljohnson-li5nn 3 жыл бұрын

Only problem with using a system to force the fluid from the master cylinder is you need a cap to fit. In the past when I used this method I had an old master cylinder cap which I drilled to accept the nipple. With the reverse method all you do is connect up to the calliper nipple. Just received confirmation of my order for the tool.

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

@@michaeljohnson-li5nn That's good news Michael, assuming it was Spanner Monkey from the link they'll have it under way in the morning, and you should get it promptly.. a tiny tip that may help you when you come to do it, try wrapping a couple of turns of plumbers tape around the nipple first as it will make a better seal that then won't leak any fluid as you force it in, you will notice you need a fair bit of force, and the plumbers tape stops anything weeping out or air getting drawn in... Good luck with it and let us know how it goes.. Del.

@IanMacLeansnv 2 ай бұрын

I read this on another KZfaq video on if your bike has ABS: "the abs block cannot have contaminants get into it and there are contaminants that get into the brake line and they make their way down to the caliper just because the contaminants are heavier and they make their way to the farthest point in the system the lowest point in the system." So I think on a bike w/ABS that needs a fluid change, a conventional Purge first would be a good idea.

@Moonfleet41 2 ай бұрын

Fair point mate, but it's worth remembering that water content builds up in the reservior through the vent holes in the cap, and that water eventually leads to corrosion in the master cylinder, you wouldn't want to push that down through the ABS pump, so there are contaminants in both ends, making that practice largely irrelavant, just flush enough fluid through the system to wash it all out..!

@Moonfleet41 Жыл бұрын

It's not anything you're doing buddy.. it can be tricky. once you fill from the bottom like this, it can help to just bleed down a few pumps in the old regular conventional way to get any small air bubbles out that may have dragged in up the side of the bled valve thread while it was open... then close it off and you should have a firm lever.... you can tape it in over night too which will also improve it.!

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Hi John, great to hear from you, and thanks for your kind words... I think I said 'tape' the lever in, so yes, the idea is that pulling the lever in and fixing it there pressurises the system, shrinks the bubbles to a fraction of their size and over the course of time, usually overnight, they will drift up to the top and out in to the resevoir... then in the morning, rip the tape off, pump the lever a few times and you'll notice it's rock solid!

In my opinion best project you have done Dell ,like the finished look. Do you still have the street fighter ,the Hog,and the Hayabusa ?

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much mate, that's very kind... am enjoying the build and it's great to be turning out a great result. Sadly we have to sell the bikes when they're finished to fund the next build, as we will with this one, but did manage to hang on to the Hayabusa, and enjoying riding it whenever I get a chance!

How is this done if you have 2 individual front brake lines? Seems like you might need to occassionally siphon off some fluid from the reservoir when doung the 2nd line.

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Not quite Thomas, fill the left side first, then the second you see fluid emerge in the bottom of the reservoir, STOP.. then switch to the right side, and as you fill it, you'll see bubbles foam up through the bottom as the air is forced up the right hose.. then as soon as the air bubbles stop, the fluid will fill...and you're done. !

just wondering how you would use this method of reverse bleeding with twin brakes on the front 🤔🤔

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

Start with the left, then the moment you see fluid emerge in the bottom of the reservoir, lock it off, and switch to the right. You'll see bubbles for a while as the air from the right hose is pushed out, then the rez will fill, and you're done. !

Are you suppoused to use a crush washer between the caliper and banjo bolt or just the bolt head and banjo bolt. Something thats really confusing me becuase most videos I watch I dont see one

@Moonfleet41 4 ай бұрын

Perhaps you didn't spot them, but believe me in every banjo union I put a copper washer either side of it.

One comment mentioned duel bleeding… finally gave me straight answer.. do left, then right… it is challenging get it 100% bleed out… doing other way.. I’m olde school, hates new changes in the system. Learned a lot simpler way you shown!! Awesome!! GROAN!! More tools to purchase!! Lol 😂 thank goodness at least cheap tool!

Yep, depends on how they are routed, some go from Brake master to Brake Caliper to Brake Caliper, some have the split before the first Brake Caliper in like a Y.

@Moonfleet41 3 жыл бұрын

wobbly sauce: dead right, the current Triumph adventure bikes run that tandem system with the left caliper piggy backed off the right, and that's even easier to bleed, just push it all in to the left caliper, it goes straight to the master cylinder via the right caliper!

@@Moonfleet41 That it is, surprising how well holding the brake lever in overnight works, and come back in to see the fluid level has dropped.
