Fluid not dirty but improved front braking some. I don't have one of the nice vacuum bleeders used a big syringe the wifee (a RN) brought home from work.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #221500 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Re:Brake Bleeding 2 Years, 9 Months ago   cdrprn wrote: Also did the drain-refill master cylinder and one-side-at-a-time drill at first service interval and no problems.

That's what actually worked best for me, I read that tip here, You can push and pull fluid with it. But i still had to crack the lines at the fittings, Air was like right at the MS 2 to 3" from it I think. It can be a bear of a Job, I gotta get some of the Auto Bleeders.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #236444 06MidnightStar (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 768 Re:Brake Bleeding 2 Years, 6 Months ago   I installed Speed Bleeders when I replaced the brake pads on my 98 Honda Valkyrie Tourer several years ago. Now, I plan on installing Speed Bleeders in my Roadie. After installation, it took me less than 30 minutes to replace the brake fluid in both front and rear master cylinders, all by myselfm, with no mess!   Logged     ---- 2006 Midnight Silverado, MaxFlo Air Kit, Roadhouse Classics 2-1 Pipes: OEM manifold, 190 Main, 37.5 Pilot, Needle (3rd groove, OEM white spacer), Maxmix Pro PMS (2.5 turns out), Accel Pump Duration (1 turn out, nut in front), Float Height (w/carb upside down): 16mm, 43+ MPG   The administrator has disabled public write access. #236445 06MidnightStar (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 768 Re:Brake Bleeding 2 Years, 6 Months ago   I installed Speed Bleeders when I replaced the brake pads on my 98 Honda Valkyrie Tourer several years ago.

Just ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 2132 Re:Brake Bleeding 2 Years, 6 Months ago   jdwintx wrote: Simple question, should you bleed both front brakes at the same time or should you do them seperately. I just changed my brake lines and have the ability to hook a "T" adapter to my vacuum pump that would allow me to have both bleeder valves open and still under vacuum to pull fluid through. What or how does everyone else do it? Thanks I have the speed bleeders on my 00 R*. They work great! I also have the vacuum system but I still prefer the speed bleeders as I can keep and eye on the master level better while pumping the system. It's all a matter of choice.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
