How to bleed the front brakes on a GL1500

[@douglascrawford5628]

Great job on the brake bleeding video Clifford! I always learn something from you!

[@angusmacbaen]

You ain't kidding about taking a while. Just replacing the pads, without breaking the system, it takes an hour to get the pressure back. I just rebuilt the caliper and master cylinder and I've been pumping on it on and off for 2 days and it's just now starting to give a hint of pressure.

I used the air bleeder gun from harbor freight. It worked great especially the new rear master cylinder. When are you going to start posting again? My front brake lever has a scrunchy feel when I pull it in. It works great but the lever just fills strange. Is that typical? Come on back Clifford. Your bike is the same as mine. b-142p under the locking gas lid. I never knew that. Thanks.

I followed your advice on holding the brake lever in on the front and put something heavy on the rear brake pedal ... they both worked on my 1500 after bleeding both using a vacuum pump ... the old fluid was as dark as oil... just wanted to give you a shout out

[@symplemynd57]

Vacuum bleed those brakes. Saves so much time and energy

[@billmoody823]

Have you ever tried a vacuum bleeder? Thank you for your videos/ time. I can't tell you how much help you've been.

[@CliffordRice]

I personally dont own one, but there really great and helpful.

Clifford, I think you missed a step on the front brakes, You don't show taking the wheel cover off or what to do at the front brake. All of a sudden you are pumping the brakes into a bucket? Also, I have great brakes on the front but none on the rear. Do I have to do the front process before the rear???

[@royfloydjr.5937]

I am having a problem with the front calipers they will not release all the way. what can cause this?

[@stephensheridan6332]

Thankyou Clifford.

Hey.....new subscriber here. This is off topic.....but your my go to guy for gl1500 stuff. I have had my side covers blow off my bike 3 times now as a semi passes me. All the rubber is good, any tips? Im getting ready to glue the suckers on

[@CliffordRice]

well I've seen people put cable on them before.

[@mattsez2879]

@@CliffordRice im thinking a hook on inside of cover....a long spring running sideways on the bike......just didnt know if you ever run into any good fixes

[@Straydogger]

Replace the rubber grommets that the side covers snap into. Cyclemax has them.

[@richardmartini9784]

😂trivia: is that dot 4 the same dot 4 One might use in there automobile.. Ya see how important that trivia is... MORE TRIVIA...!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉

[@Unexpectedperspectivesnow]

I don't understand what that speeded up pumping is doing?

[@slimmm723]

Thanks

[@stuartobryan6484]

Why not use a vacuum bleeder. Its so much faster

[@kawasakirule3707]

That's why I buy a vacuum pump bleeder you don't have to go through all that nonsense to get out the air.

[@KennethTheBig]

Did my bleeding in 2 min with vacum ,,

[@jerryquandt905]

Great how to Cliff but can't the head banging music people play on these, I'd rather hear a ratchet click.
