In this quick tutorial we'll see how to bleed motorcycle brakes fluid by yourself. The braking system needs care to function well and the presence of air inside the disc brake fluid makes the brakes spongy and inaccurate.
The following brake bleeding tutorial can be performed by anyone with very few tools, very DIY.
The bleeding of the brake system can be done by yourself and we used a triumph bonneville as a "model" for this tutorial.
Extract from the episode:
Bleeding your brakes is not a difficult process, but if it’s not done properly it can take all day and it can compromise the quality of the braking.
Here is how to bleed motorcycle brakes by yourself:
First of all I need to loosen the purging fitting on the brake caliper and connect it to a length of clear plastic hose. The hose needs to be routed upward and then looped around a couple of times so that the oil that will come out from the caliper will form a sort of a one way valve that won’t allow the air to flow back into the system. Then everything is secured with a zip tie.
Now I can open the reservoir tank…
And fill it up with DOT 5 brake oil trying not to make a mess like I’m doing right now.
To bleed the system and flush out the air I start pumping the lever and when the system is full, oil starts pouring out of the bleeding valve on the caliper. As you can see a mixture of oil and air bubbles are coming out of the valve. Those air bubbles have to go, because being air a compressible gas, it would compromise the quality of the braking.
After quite a lot of pumping and a few oil refills of the reservoir, we can see that the air bubbles are diminishing until they disappear.
At this point I can tighten the bleeding valve and then remove the plastic hose.
The reservoir can also be closed at this time and the braking system is ready to go... well, actually is ready to stop…

Best brake bleeding video I've ever seen. Doing this tomorrow. Thank you!

[@drmachinewerke1]

I put about a inch of fluid in a bottle , break bleeder valve free .Connect hose place in bottle no looping . Pump and fill until all air is out of tube , tighter valve install caps , dispose of bottle and ride

[@Snurre86]

I prefer the reverse method with a large syringe myself. Then you will move the brake fluid against gravity just like the air out of the system. On a street bike just stick to DOT4 fluid.

[@nickcortese990]

Best video on KZbin for this. Thanks bro

[@CustomCez]

I appreciate that!

[@jbraz8]

This is about the Least Complicated video on how to do something so simple. You don't need to go and buy the fancy little kid you just need a tube some zip ties and functioning eyeballs

[@traviswillams3651]

Priceless. I've never thought of that. Helped me out alot and saved time

[@CustomCez]

That's great! Glad it helped

[@TheBLACKMQQN]

Best I’ve seen. 👍

[@henrysrandomadventures]

Great video, I haven’t done a bone dry system in awhile and it really stopped me from overthinking it!

[@CustomCez]

Great 😊 thank you and enjoy your brake’s job 😉

[@oldknacka]

Perfect. Worked a treat on my drz400. Cheers bud

[@lamyniggs7682]

damn...ive been bleeding my brakes for abour 30 minutes. came here watched the video, gave it a try and not even 30 seconds later and the brakes have never been this good. lol

[@raghavendraaroor4444]

Looks useful. But when I tried on my Kawasaki Vulcan S, it didn't work. How long does it take to complete the process in this method?

[@GenX-er]

Great video!

[@Ladosligese]

thx a million for this

[@rayslife4k]

Is the motorcycle have to be on

[@bfitz7480]

Excellent video, always tried to figure out how to do this without bothering a friend or family member, thank you

[@KowboyUSA]

I got to do this. Have air bubble in my rear brake.

[@CustomCez]

+John Ratko it takes 15 min. Just get a small hose, silicon (like the one the doctor uses for drawing blood) is best 😊

[@KowboyUSA]

Custom Cez Fai Da Te great advice. brother!

[@CustomCez]

anytime ;)

[@noahmoody1640]

@@CustomCezwhere can I buy one of these hoses?

[@bloodbatteries4797]

Do u catch the fluid in a bottle

[@dominiqueascunce9430]

Does this work on fronts as well?

[@CustomCez]

Yes it does 😊

[@WILLY52368]

So what about the end of the hose, does have to empty into a bottle? You didn't say where it goes or what happens to it, not even show where it went

[@harrisonhays360]

I just did mine, had it empty into an old BodyArmor bottle. After I was done, just tightened the lid and threw it away.

[@leepfeifer77]

Thank you

[@joelmayores307]

SIMPLE....TANX BRO...

[@mosedortiz8199]
