    I really learned a LOT from this channel. I’ve watched a lot of bleeding tutorials but none of em tell me that the nipple should be facing upward when the caliper bone dry. I’ve tried asking my brother or my dad to teach me but none of em actually know how to. Thank you 🙏🏻

    Thanks for the video - it saved me hours of pain. I recently aquired a 1983 GL1100 with sidecar. This model was the first wing with linked braking. Being my first wing and my first experience of linked braking I have climbing a very steep learning curve. If anyone else is up against bleeding the brakes on one of these bikes with a side - a couple of things I learn - firstly jack the side up as far as possible and secondly remove the linked front caliper and raise it as high as possible..... thanks for your tip about that in the video. Lastly don't rush the job, leave time for those bubble to move about

  • @TriAngles3D
    @TriAngles3D Před 3 lety +5

    Rap a rubber band around the front brake handle and add some weight to hold down the rear brake pedal. Wait several hours, remove the rubber band and the weight and your brakes will now provide a solid response as all of the dissolved gas in the fluid has been pushed out/expelled. Tip I got from Rob Bron, Amsterdam in the early 90s. It worked then and still works today.

  • @petee0158
    @petee0158 Před 3 lety +2

    Followed exactly what you did to re-prime the refurbished brakes on my 98 Trident and got there, although it took time to get all the bubbles out and for resistance to build up. I agree it is best to keep re-topping up with fresh fluid once bleeding through, there were loads and loads of tiny bubbles in the fluid as it came through the pipe on the bleed nipple. Be patient, it really works.Thanks Del.

    Having done hydraulic brakes on cars, I thought I knew what I was doing for the dry and refurbished twin Brembo calipers on the front wheel of my BMW 659RLS. Two hours later, still fine pumping bubbles with the front brake lever using the conventional technique I learned on cars. Now I see why! Thanks !

    After replacing all break lines with new once the system of my bike was almost empty (incl. ABS pump). With a vacuum pump I had now success getting the air out and fluid into the break system. Your tip pumping the fluid into the system in the opposite direction help a lot getting my breaks working again. Thx, very much!

  • @konradsensenig9291
    @konradsensenig9291 Před 5 lety +29

    Nice. This should honestly be the standard way to bleed a simple hydraulic system. The reason being that the bubble will continually try to rise in the lines due to gravity. A few tips I would add: Get a big "dispensing syringe" from a pet store or farm supply shop, so you never need to break the hydro locked system and expose it to air during the bleed. While at the pet store, also get clear vinyl hose used in fish tanks, so you can see the bubbles. Also, after pushing fluid upward from calliper to reservoir, there will still be a big bubble lodged in the calliper, above the level of the banjo bolt. To clear this bubble, simply pull some fluid back into the syringe after the reservoir has filled. Since the bleed valve is the highest point on the calliper, this has to be the last step and the calliper has to be upright to do it. This was done with the calliper upside down in this video, so there would still be a significant bubble in the calliper. To recap: Fill syringe and hose, connect hose to valve, open valve, small pull on syringe to clear small bubble at valve, big push of fluid until res is filled, then another small pull on syringe to clear bubble in top half of calliper, seal the system.

      Same problem with my 1983 BMW R65LS. Just doing it according tomy conventional car experience seems takes several hours OR perhaps the master cylinder is faulty and sucking air although there is no sign of any leaks when I squeeze the front brake lever. Just how much air can refurbished Brembo single cylinder calipers (both left and right side front) and hose lines hold? It seems endless!

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  Před 6 lety +2

      Yeah sure thing buddy, if you see any form of movement in the fluid as it flows out the bleed valve, that'll be micro-bubbles, sometimes they are so tiny they just look like dust, but if it's fresh, clean fluid it won't be dust and we tend to forget that they will all accumulate at the highest point and make a bubble, and it makes me cringe when I see people shake bottles! If you have some spare, or old fluid, just stick it in a glass bottle and shake it, it actually goes cloudy with mico-bubbles and stays that way for ages!

    @lowndeswhatley659 Před rokem

    Great presentation and method. Couple of comments. 1) with the rear caliper off and held high (starting 9:40) the bleed nipple should be held at THE highest piont in the system. 2) on Brembo calipers with the bleed nipple next to the banjo line connection the two are connected directly by a drilled gallery. This leaves the calper pistons out of the "circulation" loop and they do not get fresh fluid circulated thru them. Always fully compress all of the pistons into the caliper when changing the fluid.

  • @timbarnett3898
    @timbarnett3898 Před 5 lety

    You changing out brake line, with removing banjo bolt. I bought new banjo bolts that saved my life! TCB (Traction Controlled Braking) out of Texas makes an extended banjo bolt with air pocket an diaphragm that makes my non-ABS brakes feel an act like ABS brakes. Naturally, I did a before an after an was amazed! Reason: without TCB banjo turning off to right then hard braking caused rear wheel to break lose causing entire motorcycle rear end to break lose to direction of turn! Before braking can continue bike needs to straighten an get control of rear wheel slide out. Then brakes re-applied to stop. With TCB banjo bolt (just one part on each brake caliper) the bike could hard brake retaining rear wheel road integrity! So fast smooth braking with no rear wheel slide outs, no regaining control, no re-applying brakes a second time to stop. The saving my life part. Every year here in Washington State Hwy 101 we has Oyster Fest that's traffic controlled by state police. I have truck an flatbed with huge Ford backhoe on board in front of me. Car with kids pass me an darts in front of truck. Driver swerved to miss kid, wipes trailer an backhoe falls flat on 101 spinning with its boom now extended! No way to evade, (THANK HEAVENS FOR MY PROPER FOLLOWING DISTANCES) MY only option was immediate hard controlled Braking. The woman in red car pulls up from behind me an says, "I only saw anyone brake like that on TV, "your rear wheel was a foot off the road"! I look down an there is less than 2" from my front tire to the backhoe's arm an bucket. Thanks TCB, I know you saved me, because I know pre an post testing performance an under real road extreme requirements! Police were there in minute being so close an sighted truck driver for inadequate tie downs, the kids that caused it all just bolted up exit , made fast right an were gone. They got away but truck driver an all of us paid or could have paid dearly! Many put $ thousands into chrome or paint, an faster/stronger engine parts. Before that, think about needing better that stock braking, remember it's speed that's the mind rush, but its brakes that saves your life, an the beauty behind you!

    À couple of good tips there bruv. When I started doing stuff on my bike 6 years ago even with a manual those tips to help you are not in it. Those things you have to work out on your own. I have always done all the work on my bike since owning it. I knew very little about bikes and what I did know was from old 2 stroke motorcrosres. It ain't hard, it's the little things like what you showed today and in other videos that are a massive help. Well done not a lot of people go into it that well and explain why. I know your channel has got me out off the shit several times. All the best for 2018 to both yourself and Penny and hope for even more great content lover the coming year.Take it easy ride safe both of you. Oh yeah............ Happy New Year D&P we luv ya.

      Hi buddy, I think we can trust Harley to do things right, but they do like to charge a lot for it! And after all, most of it is housekeeping and not technical stuff, so it's on us to help ourselves don't ya think?! Even with cars, any dealer will do whatever you ask them to do, and they have a business to run, I think partly the blame is on society, cos these days we've all become so helpless when it comes to manual maintenance, don't ya think?! And then again, that also goes for a lot of manual skills in life, from DIY to cookery, who bothers any more - shame aye?! Take care buddy, thanks for your support...Happy New Year!

    tip - when you hang the caliper up higher than the master/reservoir, be sure to keep the bleeder on top to get all the air to it. (you'll notice the bleeder is on top when the caliper is mounted on the bike)

    Cheers for the video Del, I'm about to do my first dry hose change on my TL1000s fighter build, this'll save me a bit of head banging..
    Also an easy place to get decent size syringes from is your local agricultural merchant/equine store. They'll have loads of different sizes for medicating livestock. Although an average agri merchant is likely to be a lot cheaper than a horsey shop.

    • @seeker7259
      @seeker7259 Před 6 lety +1

      Also I've heard of people using poundland vibrators (!!!) to help get those remaining bubbles into one end of the hose. If guess if you cant afford SnapOn then go buy StrapOn lol...

    @stephenspiteri_zunkus Před 6 lety

    very useful video. Thanks mate. I had issues with my front brakes when I changed the rubber hoses to braided on my bike just as you said. My solution was to leave the bike for a day after I bled it to my best of my abilities then released the top bolt next to the reservoir. I put some old rags there to soak up the oil. Just a little oil was let out, then re-bled and that cured it. No more champagne bubbles. I do like your method better though so will use it for the next time.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  Před 6 lety +1

      Good going buddy, there are many ways to get round the issue, and I think we all have our favourites! I like the idea of cracking the bolt after a few days, just common sense aye?!

    • @stephenspiteri_zunkus
      @stephenspiteri_zunkus Před 6 lety

      Moonfleet41 Another idea that I’ve read somewhere is to zip tie the front brake leaver for a few days. Supposedly this will compress the brake fluid which will bring up the air back up into the reservoir. A friend tried it an said it worked. It wouldn’t hurt to try if you’re a teeny weeny lazy I guess lol.

    @rcchurchy4417 Před 6 lety

    I had a feeling this video was coming! HEL just did a 40% off over Christmas I bought matching front lines to go with the rear I've already installed. Also, rubber hoses allow a gentler braking experience which some people prefer, it's us hooligan speed freaks who like the harsher feel of braided lines! Take it easy, Happy new year!

      Thanks buddy, I got a strange look too!! And what was even more irritating, was they didn't charge me for the syringe, as there is a policy here of handing them out free so that drug users can always use fresh needles, god knows what she was thinking about my story of bleeding brakes with it !! Ho hum, maybe I'll buy them online in future lol !

    @Lastaii Před 6 lety

    Good point about not shaking the brake fluid. I get mine online, and I've never thought about it before, but it's undoubtedly been thoroughly shaken up through the post. Next time I'll let it rest for a couple of weeks and see if that makes a difference :D

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  Před 6 lety

      Try a little trick buddy - put some fluid in a plastic water bottle, give it a good shake hard and watch what happens to it, you'll be amazed how long the tiny micro bubbles will sit suspended in the fluid almost like it's a gel..! You can also see how long it takes to dissipate... thanks for watching buddy, all the best for the new year !

    Just looking at some of your older videos Del and love this one about reverse bleeding also a nice tip in one of the comments about the air double above the Banjo bolt, wee tip for anyone that needs a syringe in a hurry, apart from the chemist or pet store you can get 200/300/500ml from a veterinarian, they only charged me £2 for a 500ml.

    • @Moonfleet41
