Like a Dyson just after a cartridge change!!

I'd consider the brake line change to be a simple & straight forward job, but considering how vital they are, it would be worth waiting for some on-site guidance.

If you clean up the calliper pistons while you're at it, you'll like the difference

As been said, don't do them if your unsure what you are doing. I have done bleeding brakes several times and it never gets any easier to get rid of the air from a dry system. Admittedly back bleeding does help but I often end up with my brake fluid on me than in the system I would offer a trip down to help but unsure when I could make it. Would have to be a Sunday but Mondays would be a lot easier for me but your at work. Failing that I'm insured to ride it. I could always collect and then bring back?

Jamie how much would you pay for the shock?

Name your price Chris, organised crime in it's most civilised form!

Anything else you'd like? I'm sure we could do a deal

Is it possible to inject the brake fluid up the lines, from the bottom to top?

As is suggested for the clutch?

I bought a couple of very large syringes with clear tubing on the end to suck the fluid out of my reservoirs before topping up to bleed.
perhaps they could be used to push fluid up the system from the bottom?

[darkember]

Several more pointers: When bleeding never allow the reservoir to empty best to have a helper who will keep topping it up, using a syringe at the bleed nipple also helps & always bleed the longer of the 2 lines first.

Finally once happy with the feel & all is tightened leave the master reservoir open & pull the lever to the throttle grip, cable tie it there & leave overnight, this will allow any air to find a way out.

The job is not that hard, just be methodical, take your time & make sure everything is super clean

That is what is known as a reverse bleed. Can get very messy though.

I always do it that way now, since having a lesson from Master Braker The Hon Jonesey.

If its messy Carl your doing something wrong...Even with wonkey wristitus it's a piece of piss.

Die. It's not insured, surely you're only insured for vehicles that do have insurance with someone else? Also not taxed


The package consists of 2 long lines and a short line, so what does that mean?

Also, I have Jamie wrapped round my thumb. He'd give it back

Prob race set up on front (2 lines )+ rear brake line.

My Dad's visiting and he thinks otherwise, but I have no idea and doubt he has much of one either

I'll offer Lloyd some sex or something and get him to come over
