Haha, I am also watching both of them, Jeff explains a lot verbally while Mitch gives us DIY step by step instructions. My LX has a stiff brake lever after one action so I guess brake fluid replacement soon

What's up bro, my scooter has a vibration in the handlebars when I release it it moves, I grab it again and it stops. I already balanced the tire and rim, do you think it's the shock absorber or the tire?, Thanks

Hi Mitch, i have a problem with my Burgman 400 2008. It keeps shutting off when in idle and the engine does not work in harmony. Looks like it makes a lot of misfire. The power also went dont it can't run over 60 mph. I checked the air filter, spark plug and they looked clean. Any ideas for this problem. The f1 light is off. Thank you

thanks mitch that looks like an easy way to do it without getting air in the line my lml needs a change must be over 4 year now the last time it was changed any idea what fluid I would need 3or 4 dot or is there not much difference ?

@Airhead.R.1977 2 жыл бұрын

The differences are mainly in their boiling point, so it won’t be the end of the world if you use the “wrong” one for your bike. But I’d check your owners manual and buy the right one.

@jarikinnunen1718 2 жыл бұрын

As fluid leaks into the system, air bubbles slowly rise into the tank due to gravity. The next day it is airless.

@rse9753 2 ай бұрын

Can you just add brake fluid without the little syringe, straight from the bottle?

Yes. If you are careful.

FYI brake fluid level gets low as pads wear down. If you refill to the highest level, you might have issues when the time comes to change your pads as they will push more fluid up to the reservoir.

@MitchsScooterStuff 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, the pads are still like new... under 3k miles on it... I should mention about that but in my other videos I showed about suck out some fluid before changing the pads :)

@Airhead.R.1977 2 жыл бұрын

@@MitchsScooterStuff All good, I wasn't criticizing your procedure. Just adding my 2 cents to those who might watch your how-to video guides and face this issue later on. It might be impossible to squiz in the piston enough to fit the calliper over the rotor or the pads might drag on.

@mattssi 2 жыл бұрын

Why does it matter if you suck all of the old fluid out of the reservoir? If you're putting new fluid in, you'll be pumping all the old out, watching for air bubbles, etc. anyway.

@search620 2 жыл бұрын

Your hose is connected to an airtight bottle and this creates pressure in the hose that sticks the oil inside the hose in the same place. You need the hose to be connected to an open box so that the air can be released out
