Using a Vacuum Bleeder and changing pads on the 1190

Today I changed the front pads and changed the brake fluid for the front brakes on the KTM 1190 Adventure R. Hopefully its helpful for someone.

[@wobblysauce]

Bamm you got me.

[@rick8910]

Thanks for sharing Nerb i've always wondered if those were worth the money. I guess i'll have a new tool to add to the collection now :)

[@LuckySlevin7]

I am a 1190 rider too and I would love videos of more maintance stuff

[@bazza8947]

I need to get a decent vacuum pump, I tried a couple cheapy Ebay ones but they never work well. I usually put a bit of copper grease on the back of the pads and retaining pins. Probably don't need to though bit always have done it out of habit.

Thank Nerb! Great tip!

[@movem1]

So helpful (again). Thank you

[@GordysGoodworks]

Can you get a product over there called Speed Bleeders? They are fantastic creations

[@JoeJoeMoto]

LOL the jump scare with the brakes.... LOL

[@Shadower75]

Nice one mate. We could have done with that in Danggali Conservation Park and Port Augusta when we were working on the 690. You remember that one mate?

[@Nerb1]

I remember! Ha. Carrying the air compressor may have been a challange!

[@DaveBritton-i8r]

Confused- all I saw was air bubbles as he finished. And he didnt do the upper bleeder by the master.

[@kevstephen6504]

Great video Nerb, did you buy it local or overseas.

[@1dancier]

Can't afford a Kto, so that gadget would be out of my price range :) On my KLR used a syringe for the rear brake and will use an oil pump can to push fluid up the front brake reservoir.

[@toby7504]

I have missed that vacuum bleeder so many times, just havent got my ass down to the store and get one. My alzheimer gets me between changes.. 🤔

[@guzziryder6566]

I spent about $100.00 on a bleeder from Repc Best money I have spent in years

[@AwesomePlayers]

I have the hand powered one but will check this out.

[@bazza8947]

Motive Products make a decent one apparently. It doesn't use a compressor but should be much better than the hand pump ones.

[@rick8910]

Riley the hand powered one EH LOL humm

[@AwesomePlayers]

@@rick8910 Yup... that is the only reason I have that strong grip!

[@sparksupthere]

Nice one. 👍 Also, can you do a Pauline Hanson on the prosthetic arm!??? LOL

[@Nerb1]

Please explain? Check this out kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYHQpYxujcxgb9U

[@sparksupthere]

@@Nerb1 hahahaha. That's brilliant Nerb. I'd not seen that video before. Good times! Thanks for the laugh. 🙂

[@wobblysauce]

Can use the old fluid as paint striper.

[@tacjam1]

You don't do the bleeder port by the brake lever? I usually pump the brake lever a few times and open and close that port to get all the air out that way.

[@Nerb1]

I did pump the lever a few times, but I havnt done anything with the port on the lever.... you learn something new every day!

[@TheHornetRider1]

1st. Nice explosion

[@AwesomePlayers]

What model is your bleeder? A lot out there.

[@Nerb1]

Mine is SPtools. They are Australian and fairly cheap. Im not promoting this particular model... just the concept.

[@AwesomePlayers]

Nerb1 Thanks for the info.

[@lloydmillenstead]

What size compressor do you need to run the bleeder?

[@Nerb1]

This model says 80 to 130psi.

[@lloydmillenstead]

Nerb1 thanks!

[@MVDBR]

Cheating 😁👍
