Reverse Bleeding How-To (SOOO EASY!)

[@davidf.8497]

Awesome. Thanks! The easiest-way video on KZbin.

Really important to wear glasses while doing this, the tube can burst off from the syringe pressure and spray everywhere before you can blink. A small zip tie helps keep a good seal on the bleeder. Also important to not let the syringe slosh around too much, it'll get air bubbles everywhere in the fluid. You don't actually need to have the fluid at the tip of the hose before attaching to the bleeder, every bit of it will be pushed out and in my opinion helps separate the old fluid from the new fluid and indicates when you're fully flushed. Wouldn't advise doing that with any ABS hardware though, might mix the air in.

Thanks so much, I watched dozens of videos and this is the only video that used a different technique and it worked well for my situation.

[@ApexMotow]

Well spoken. Great video. Will be doing this soon on a Multistrada with a faiked OEM clutch slave at 11K miles.

[@LegitRaceCraft]

Awesome! Let me know how it goes! This is the best way to keep those air bubbles out of the line

[@mehdimirza8777]

Excellent Explanation good service

[@donwolfjr1]

Well done video!!! This one will replace another video I have saved from another KZbinr!! Theother video was longer and not as...too the point, I guess I could say and THIS video shows the simplicity of THIS method better, I believe!!! Thank you!!! : ) Don W., Ohio

[@LegitRaceCraft]

Thanks! This works better on clutch systems, and you'd need to possibly unbolt the other end of the line to avoid complications with the master cyl. I've bled abs systems this same way, I just needed to disconnect one line at a time from the abs block

[@abdulsamjoo3804]

Hey man… question, I did this on my Ducati Panigale and now I hear a wet bubbly/straw slurping like sound by the slave cylinder when I engage/pull in the clutch. I tried flushing clean fluid a few times but still the same sound occurs by the slave cylinder area :(

[@LegitRaceCraft]

It sounds like the internal seals on the slave cylinder unfortunately. There should be fluid leaking also if you hear that sound, and if you can see it then it will likely be behind the slave cylinder when you pull it off. I'd definitely pull the slave off and investigate further since brake fluid isn't good on paint

[@atomicdmt8763]

trying for my front brakes...I wonder if I should disconnect the line at the top reservoir - or will it just push through? thanks

[@ThePwak007]

Hey man thank you for the abs warning! I've seen a few other videos for reverse bleeding and none brought this up! If I'm replacing the caliper along with a new brake line do I need to worry about sediment?

[@LegitRaceCraft]

I would probably still clean the line just to do it, but you shouldn't need to worry about sediment much since it mainly sinks to the bottom of the system and you're changing the line and caliper

[@ThePwak007]

@@LegitRaceCraft awesome I appreciate the quick response. Thanks again

[@ModeleroRides]

It's way more useful with the brake especially in the system with the fender "U" like ours ( I have an SF848 too). What bar ends are you fitting? i still have the crappy plastic OEM ones 🙄

[@LegitRaceCraft]

Awesome! You don't see many sf848s around. I've only talked to one guy with an '11 sf1098, identical except for the black frame. I'm running rizoma bar ends. I really like them

[@ModeleroRides]

@@LegitRaceCraft Well it's a rare bike even here in Italy, there are approx 1600 1098s (both base model and S) and 1400 848s

[@LegitRaceCraft]

I didn't know the numbers were that low! Wow

[@dannykimble7671]

Nice one mister.

[@LegitRaceCraft]

Thanks!

[@SickPrid3]

it;s always better to bleed from the bottom and fill from the top let the gravity do the work

[@LegitRaceCraft]

Negative, you aerate the fluid that way. On a dry system you're putting fluid on top of the air and the constant pumping adds bubbles to the fluid. Vacuum bleeding or pressure bleeding (this method) don't aerate the fluid.

[@atomicdmt8763]

air is lighter and will rise. reverse bleeding makes complete sense. Or perhaps a hybrid... partially bleed normally to remove bottom sediment... and then inject fluid/reverse

[@marcuswilliams7284]

Wow maybe I could actually watch this and still have time to bleed my brakes
