When you see clear fresh fluid<\/strong> coming through the hose and the air bubbles start to taper off you know that you are nearly finished. You should notice that the brake lever is getting firmer to, keep bleeding the brakes until it’s pure fluid with no air bubbles and then you’re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCheck the fluid level in the reservoir one last time to make sure it’s between the lower and the upper level and then secure the caps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s always a good idea when everything buttoned up to take a moist rag and clean down the reservoir and the caliper to make sure that you’re cleaning up any brake residue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, if your bike’s got a dual-disc front end you’re going to want to repeat the whole process with the other caliper and if you’re going to bleed your rear brake it’s the same procedure except instead of pulling on a lever you’re pushing out a pedal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bleed Motorcycle Brakes With ABS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you’ve just installed a set of stainless steel brake lines and your bleeding your brakes on an ABS motorcycle realize you’re going to making changes to the braking system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While these techniques are not necessarily all that difficult if you do not feel entirely comfortable with this process we strongly suggest that you take your motorcycle into the nearest certified technician to have this process done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many motorcycles have ABS<\/strong>, the ABS pump has to be plugged into a computer and run through a special bleed routine and that typically has to be done at the dealer. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNot all motorcycles with ABS have that requirement, some bikes can be bled normally but check your factory service manual or your owners manual to know what your bike needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, if your motorcycle features ABS and linked brakes again we strongly suggest that you take your motorcycle into your local dealership to have the brake serviced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re just bleeding your brakes it’s a very simple process. If you’re doing an entire fluid change the process is probably still not that difficult, you’re just going to be cycling more fluid through the brake system. You’re just doing the same thing a bit more often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":397,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorcyclegear101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorcyclegear101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorcyclegear101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorcyclegear101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorcyclegear101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorcyclegear101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4140,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorcyclegear101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395\/revisions\/4140"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorcyclegear101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorcyclegear101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorcyclegear101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorcyclegear101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
