I figured the backwards bleed trick back in the day.

Thanx but it was dissassembled if you did ine in. The bike more helpful

Where do you get o rings at

Yeah, BUT, what if a guy doesn't have a syringe and special tool?

I see you are mixing old DOT4 brake fluid with silicone based (purple) brake fluid. This is strictly prohibited!

Thank mom that’s a ride or die

Excellent, gas was pouring out, quick fix!!

What size oring?

Where did you get the syringe

Thanks for the great video. Nice to know it is still helping all us DIY mechanics. Do you find that the master cylinder fails far more often than the brake caliper? I have a weak front brake (2010 Heritage classic) and figure it must be either the master or the caliper. thank you id you have time to reply to me question,

What is the size of the drain hose

Many unanswered questions here, not a very good channel 👎

awesome video because I was trying to bleed from the master down to the caliper. With your help , had the job done in 10 minutes, THANK'S!!!!!!!!!!!!

Replaced O-ring. Still leaks. Right where you showed yours leaking.

Excellent video. God bless brother.

Nine years later and this video is STILL invaluable. You helped me rebuild my master cylinder on my 05 EGC. Thanks!

Can this method work with speed bleeders?

Thank you for your knowledge and experience

When removing air at top, reservoir has to be tilted left side down, since air bubbles want to go up.

Why did you split switch housing and disconnect throttle cables ? Just slacken switch housing screws and slide towards outside 1/2 in or so.

Glad this isn't my bike . I'm sure the corrosive fluid is probably all over front of bike and don't see see why he didn't remove fluid from MC first. This is why I do my own work. To many guys that are careless when working on someone else's expensive bike

Hold up, did he just mix dot 5 into dot 4????

There was no reason to take the throttle off lol.. master isn't connected to it.

I need help please. My front brakes doesn't work at all, I'm trying to bleeding but still no working, I wondering if I have a bad calipers ir lever handle

Why did u remove the throttle cables I just loosene the adj. on them and it always works

I always cover the tank first !

Awesome thanks. Before I start removing that line, do I need to drain the gas first?

Where can I get a large syringe like that. I looked everywhere. No joy.

Excellent. My 01 road king is doing the same thing. Old age I guess considering it has 19k on it. Thx

Great Video.. Read some of the other comments below. Removing the M/C is a great Idea to clean it completely of all corrosion. Smart to do that!!

我也正要更换、这个视频帮了我大忙、感谢分享！

I like the way you pushed up too the master cylinder, shit I just did my bike brakes pads, lines, bleeding them was a bitch I have 18" apes 2" riser, I was spread out left hand on the brake right hand opening the bleeder your way is what I'll do next time! lol

Worked perfect! Thank you!

Grip removed? You made the job harder than it should be.

Nice tool bench customers seat.

Important to mention… When the piston is in the rest position, the brake fluid will be balanced via The compensation hole. This compensation hole is very small, clean this compensation hole with a very thin wire of copper, if it would clog… you are guaranteed a dragging caliper, this has already happened to me twice!!! with the Honda CBX 1000. Stay Safe.

Video makes total sense, and has worked well for my factory calipers, however, on my 2020 FLHX w/ABS, If I am installing a new set of front (chrome) calipers would I follow the following procedure to bleed the brakes? THANK YOU ! ! 1. Remove existing front left caliper 2. Install new front left caliper 3. Remove front master cylinder cap 4. Squeeze front brake lever to push caliper cups towards rotor 5. Now bleed front left caliper The above sequence makes sense (my assumption) because Im trying to fill the caliper with fluid prior to bleeding. Make sense? Thanks again! Love your videos!!

Rebuilt mine and never removed the M/C. It's possible to do it while still on the bars. Looks like a lot of steps here that weren't necessary.

Mine is leaking from a gas line on the bottom of my motorcycle. Any suggestions? Thanks for the vid

Also take out the banjo bolt while the MC is still in the handle bars first before twisting that brake line like that .

Thank you bro for this video it's helped me a lot

There's no need to remove the throttle cable to the Pharaohs and the hand grips you can remove the master cylinder without removing any of that other stuff waste of time

A lot of unnecessary work going on there. Just loosen the throttle screws and leave the switch housing and throttle alone. Put the cardboard in the lever before removing the master cyl. Don't wash the master cyl. In the parts washer.....wipe it out with clean brake fluid and blow it clean with air after honing....if honing is necessary. AND...don't use the seat for a tool caddy. Unless it's you bike.

What are the torque specs. I got a 97 road king doing this same thing thanks

Warning DOT 5 is not compatible with ABS system!!

My Harley does it better

After watching a few vids on bleeding brakes the syringe trick was what I needed! Very helpful! Thanks bro!

Great technique. I always used a vacuum pump from caliper. This looks easier actually.

Cool

i like how you took your time to walk through everything and explain everything you were very thorough
