But when bleeding your fronts are you doing both sides and the master?

 

Im guessing I would need to? Never done this before honestly lol

 

I bled mine for the first time a few months back. Its actually pretty simple and painless. If I remember right all I used was a piece of aquarium tubing, a styrofoam cup, a small wrench, screwdriver and new brake fluid.

 

You should do the master cylinder first, then the right side (i.e. closer to the MC) then the left.

Highly recommended:

*Speed bleeders (then you can do both simultaneously by attaching two hoses on the calipers). Note: MC doesn't get a speed bleeder.

*Stainless steel brake lines: this will give you consistent feel of the brakes instead of spongy since the OEM lines are rubber and cause the brake fluid to expand outwards as well as down. Instead of just just going down to the calipers.

FYI: I'm assuming you have non-ABS bike, because then you have more work to do.

 

he has a 05. Assuming it's the stock master cylinder, he will NOT have to bleed it... don't even try... Seriously, don't try

There's no bleed valve on the 03-06 master cylinders so you'll be searching for it forever :crackup:

 

Yeah I heard its pretty simple to bleed the brakes and yes my MC is stock. If I got steel braided lines, would I still have to bleed my brakes?

 

Yup...when you put new lines on you'll have to bleed them to get fluid in the lines and push the air out...you'll need new brake fluid as well cause you'll have to keep adding fluid to the reservoir as you bleed them...

 

OP just fyi... I could be wrong on this but it would seem the consensus around here on the best brake fluid to use is Motul RBF600. I couldn't find it in my area so I didn't use it, but everyone says its the bees knees.

 

I heard the same thing. I just bled mine last week so I got OEM fluid from my dealer. The brakes are so much better now. I need to find some Motul for the next time.

 

get a vacuum bleeder.

they work awesome, and turn bleeding work into a 5 minute job.

 

Okay cool! I will definitely look into the motul RBF600 for fluid and the tool kit for bleeding out my brakes. Damnnn For 6 bucks Ill definitely pick that tool kit up lol. Luckily HF is only 10 minutes away from me. Any suggestions on some brands for the braided steel lines??

 

I put HEL lines on...no problems or complaints
