@5:30 the Motion Pro is leaking fluid, you can see a drop.

[@DavidSmith-hp7ux]

I saw a drip at the bleeder at 5:30. Would it help to run a dap of lube on the Caliper bleeder nipple so the rubber insert on the mini MP bleeder doesn't leak under pressure. ?

[@maxharris4208]

Bloody good call!! 👍

[@mojosdad68]

Awesome idea...buying. This will be especially handy for my triumph that has the calliper on the left side of the bike.

[@davidsgerson]

Question. When you watch the tutorial from Ari Henning he uses this as a traditional bleeding process and cracks and closes the bleeder continuously. If I understand your video right, the purpose of using the MP bleeder is that you dont have to go back and forth and can just flush the fluid out and dont have to close it till the end. This makes sense cause why would one buy the tool if it was just a prettier wrench, right? But Ari knows more about motorcycles than me (most do!), so what am I missing here?

[@danielshepherd4224]

My understanding is that there is a check valve on the motion pro tool, to keep fluid going back into the system, hence not needing to close prior to releasing the brake. I had that question to just now looking at the video!

[@maxharris4208]

I think Ari has missed the point. You're spot on - the whole point of this tool is the one way valve. I'm doing mine later today and was just revisiting this page to ensure my memory was correct 😊👍

@@maxharris4208 hi, just wanted to ask how did the bleeding with the tool go? Thanks for the answer

[@jsin22366322]

Very nice. I’ve always done it manually. This will make everything waaaay easier👍

[@jakenuno9900]

Has anyone found something like this with a locking female bleeder instead of rubber? Similar to the locks on female grease guns?

I bought the 10mm and 8mm motion pro mini bleeders I've never been able to get them to work properly i always have to finish with traditional bleeding in fact i just haven't used the mini bleeders anymore but i really like the idea and I see videos of them working, I thought maybe I was getting air coming through the threads on the bleeder nipple but even with the bleeder just barely open enough i still get air I wish I could figure out what im doing wrong I've tried them on 4 different bikes and always have the same result it good for flushing old fluid out fast but to finish it I have to bleed it the traditional way to get all the air out even when im just flushing fluid and there was no air in the line to begin with, somehow its introducing air into the system

[@kemitchell]

Forrest Strong I've never been able to get mine working, either.

[@DMobley232]

I just tried my motion pro brake bleeder on the front brake and could not get any fluid to come out. After about 2 minutes, i gave up.

[@WILLY52368]

Thanks, I knew there was something shitty about this motion-pro brake bleeder. They make it look so easy, I wonder how many times they bleed it to get to look easy.

[@WILLY52368]

@@DMobley232 I kept trying and trying on my rear brakes, I think I'm going back to traditional bleeding.

[@forreststrong797]

@@WILLY52368 a big syringe with a hose attached to the bleeder helps bleed stubborn motorcycle brakes. You can push the fluid backwards and the air goes up instead of trying to push the air down. Tapping on the caliper and master cylinder and line also helps to get tiny air bubbles moving.

[@WILLY52368]

What if I can't build pressure, what are my options?

[@andyvega69]

Make a video for bleeding with mini bleeder when Lhrb (left hand rear brake) is installed also.

[@mml1224]

great job!liked it. w/cars, i always remember filling the' catch bottle' with some fresh fluid2make sure no air enters...he left it empty?

[@islanddreaming8591]

But .., fluid is filling the tube (that is running uphill) (and air bubbles will move uphill also), and the one-way-valve in the mini bleeder doesn't let air or fluid back in, so therefore whats is your point?

[@faustini69]

What's stopping air being sucked in from between the socket and the bleed nipple

[@hendrxx_]

Check valve

[@mml1224]

does it matter which caliper u bleed 1st, front or back? like a car, u start w/ the caliper most farthest away from master cylinder, rite?

[@Pmason718]

What’s the difference between the mini and the hydraulic? I’m looking to do my brakes and clutch please assist

[@raynaeyaert]

When are you going to add a 9mm version of the mini bleeder for the ktm 790 adventure r?

[@julianarodriguez3635]

How about for scooter

[@hrsey71]

ive been trying to bleed the brakes on my ktm and ive run a full bottle through it using this method and i can still pull the lever all the way to the bar.. am i doing something wrong?

[@eriknash8783]

Try reverse bleed or maybe your master is bad

[@craigeaston5680]

Love it

[@deep4soul]

work for clutch too?

[@jericcarriedo5805]

How to avail bro hm?

[@maxharris4208]

Oh dear. I so wanted to like this product, but it was worse than useless. Didn't matter how securely it was fastened to the bleed nip, it just allowed tons of air in. Had to then start from scratch the old fashioned way, to purge all the air it had allowed in. Utterly useless... thankfully the retailer is allowing me to return the item.

[@alesbastl7716]

well...., this answers my question in the previous comment. Thanks for the feedback. The design looks amazing, but the fact is that @motionpro still has some work to do on this one. Thanks

[@maxharris4208]

@@alesbastl7716 Indeed, sadly it was utterly useless. Thankfully the good old fashionedn manual way worked wonders.

[@eriknash8783]

Based on several comments, this thing is useless and does not work as advertised. Glad I came here before donating money
