NinjaNick Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Were the pistons on the calipers pushed in so you could put it back on the rotor? If so, just pump the lever quite a few times and it will build pressure again.For anymore help from me, I would have to see what you actually did.

NinjaNick Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Also,make sure you didn't bleed too much fluid out and your resevoir on your bars is filled all the way so you're actually pumping the fluid through the line instead of just air.

gixxie750 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Did you take them off the bike compleatly? Like took the brake lines off? If so you will have to start at the top and bleed the master cylinder then each caliper. Its easy if you buy a bleed kit at auto zone.Make sure you are carefull with the brake fluid because it will eat paint and clear coat!

yotaman88210 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 gravity bleedin is just letting valve stay open and dripping all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 gravity bleedin is just letting valve stay open and dripping all night.so leave the bleeders open all night with the break in... woudlnt that let all the fluid out as well as air??

yotaman88210 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yea, thats you would do, but I would just try to bleed all the bleeders first. Ive never had to gravity bleed anything. Try bleed at the lever and tap around the fitting. Air likes to get trapped in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Drordy Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 my advise would be to get a pair of speed bleeders. you can probably find them for under $15 to your door. replace your stock bleed nipples with the speed bleeders and just run a lot of fluid through the system.I said nipples...
