Re: Brake Bleeding


I used a crapload of fluid when I put stainless lines on my SV. If you have access to a mityvac (or other power bleeder) it will GREATLY speed things up. I kept bleeding, and bleeding and still bubbles came out. Went and bought a mityvac, two pumps and it was close to done (the brake lever was finally hard again). I did a couple more traditional bleeds and was good to go.
