How to bleed your brake system on dirt bike

[@oBNSz-P]

Video great help for someone like my self with not much knowledge 💯 I’m here 2 years later

[@iamyzdemon5717]

Great method I’m gunna try it later today when I get outta work. I’m surprised this video hasn’t has more views

[@slavsquad]

Thank you. Let me know how it works for you!

Hey man, I’m having trouble with this new rear break caliper assembly on my pit bike and no matter how many times I bleed it the piston is not touching the break pad to grab the disk. If you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated...

[@slavsquad]

What I’ve done in the past was remove the brake pedal and pump by pushing with my hand so that it pumps harder vs being limited by how far the brake pedal goes down. If nothing then try bleeding it starting from the hose vs the nipple. Then once you get brake fluid goes through there then move it down to the nipple Hope that helps

Cool little "hack/trick" I saw on another video. Before you put the bleed hose on, take the enclosed side of the wrench and put it on the nut before putting on the hose. Much easier that way, if you have room.

[@slavsquad]

Yeah I’ve used that trick before when there’s enough space

[@jadenjaden7978]

I bought a new rear brake kit for my pit bike but we had to let some of the liquid out to release some pressure to get the master to fit because the master rod was too long and now it won’t build pressure again.

[@kamrinehart]

My brakes now work and no need to buy a new set just needed pads and fluid 💪👍

[@VDM32]

My brakes used to lock up and slide and one day they just stopped gripping as much I hope this fixes my problem

Where do I get that tube and what size is it

Doing this on my sons little ssr while doing this it’s okay to leave the top off the master cylinder correct? To continue to pour fluid in while needed while bleeding?

[@slavsquad]

Yes correct

[@shawncarter4242]

I have a 250cc Apollo and I can not push my lever down at all I might have to replace the master

[@dalton3242]

same thing happened on my yamaha. i went ahead and replaced the entire brake system and it wasn’t really hard to do

[@johnboi4646]

If thats a 125cc what how much cm is ur back break line because im tryna order me one because the original one i have is not meant for my syx 125

[@quandaledinglehere7716]

My back brake has not been working no matter how meny times I’ve tryed I’m gonna try this and see how it goes. How meny times did u pump it?

[@slavsquad]

I did mine like 10 times. If it doesn’t work then you maybe need to see replace your master cylinder. If it’s not pushing fluid then it’s probably a bad master.

[@quandaledinglehere7716]

@@slavsquad because my brakes we’re working intel I Took off the hose and empty the brake fluid so I added some and bleeded it but it won’t build pressure now

[@slavsquad]

@@quandaledinglehere7716 to much air probably. Need to bleed the system starting from the banjo bolt by the master cylinder. Then make your way to the bleeder nipple. Might even need to adjust pedal so it’s pushing the rod all the way in when pumping

Do you happen to know what brake pads fit a 2008 X2?

[@slavsquad]

Sorry I don’t. I would just take your brake pads off and lookup pit bike brakes on eBay and try to match them. Or email tbolt usa and ask them

[@luisangel2036]

Hey your video helped me a lot thanks one question do i have to bleed them if i got then new from amazon for a 110cc pit bike or can i used them like they come ?

[@slavsquad]

Glad I can help! If they work then no need to bleed them new

Hey the master cylinder came empty do i have to fill it up and bleed them right and can i use the normal Dot 3 brake fluid that u get in gas stations ?

[@slavsquad]

@@luisangel2036 yes if it’s empty you’ll need to fill it and bleed it. On the top of the master cylinder where you fill the brake fluid it will say what brake fluid to use

Great vid !

[@llesurFigueroa-lk3fe]

I got my brake to grab a tiny pit but can’t get the rest of thr air out

[@azbl9441]

Hey good vid bro just started having issues on my pit bike my rear break sticks to the rotor it doesnt release all the way and just slow the bike down

[@azbl9441]

Just subbed btw 🤙🏻

[@azbl9441]

Also bro the break oil gets very dark grey color you cant even see no clear through the glass hole

[@slavsquad]

@@azbl9441 thanks for the Sub! Have you bled your oil all the way through? The oil should be clean. When it gets that dirty it acts up. That could be the issue. I would bleed your brake until it’s all clear. Then if that doesn’t do it, take the brake caliper off (don’t unscrew the brake line or you’ll have to redo bleeding for getting air in system) then try to get it cleaned out real nice. Maybe get some wd-40 around everything so it is lubed up and any rust broken free. Could just be real dirty and maybe some rust causing it to get stuck. If you do this don’t get Wd-40 on the brake pads themselves.

[@slavsquad]

@@azbl9441 hope this helps! Keep me updated

[@azbl9441]

@@slavsquad so i started to bleed em bro and oil came out super black and it was taking some time to get clear which it didnt it just got like half as light as the color it had so i kept the little nip open and pumped fully to clear faster but it looks like its producing the break oil dark when i pump

[@heranoimperial9323]

Thats Cool man!

I”m doing it all over and over and nothing hapens im doing it without hose and nothing fluid is full and brake pads not mowing at all…

Can you use a shifter?

Use a shifter for what? What part of the process

[@angelmendez4476]

Very helpful 🫡

[@godly5099]

I did this without the tube and it still didn’t work

[@godly5099]

And do u have to do it really hard when u pump it

[@slavsquad]

Hello. You might have to bleed from the master cylinder first and then move back towards the caliper I’ve noticed in the past that the rod to the master cylinder doesn’t push in all the way. So make sure it’s actually pumping all the way. But you don’t need to push super hard.

[@zazx560]

@@slavsquad how do you bleed the cylinder

[@slavsquad]

@@zazx560 same process as in video except instead of unscrewing the bleeding nipple you unscrew the hose coming from the master

[@CFSMoto]

Have you checked your pads and try adjust the bleed nipple literally the second you feel it come loose and the tiniest bit of fluid comes out then top it all the way up and pump few times and every time you let the brake off , close the valve . Do this multiple times and should work ( only open the bleed valve the tiniest bit mate)

[@Yungshiest]

Why thank you good sir

[@eetuk1757]

Hey i have problem with my brakes i have fluid in cylinder but the fluid is not coming in the rear brake

[@slavsquad]

Take it step by step. Since it’s not coming out the break start bleeding from the beginning of the brake line that screws into the cylinder where the fluid is in. If you can’t get fluid to come out from there then chances are your cylinder isn’t pumping. Also it could be an air leak in the brake system. If you get brake fluid to come out of there the. Move down to the bottom of the brake line where it’s screws into the brake caliper. And keeping working your way tell you have fluid coming out the bleed bolt that I use to bleed the air out in this video
