brake bleeding kits

Post by GForce »

Just wondering if anyone has used this to bleed their brakes. Is it efficient and effective? also can it be used to put new oil in without getting bubbles in the lines?

can u tell me how you would put the new oil in. would u just pour it in and pump away until new fluid comes out. meaning no more opening and closing the nipple.

Try twperfromance.com.au , they have specific Motorcycle brake bleed kits which from memory are really inexpensive. I have had one for three years or so and it works a treat!!! :)
