 Posted: 07:23 - 31 Mar 2015 Post subject: bleeding brakes on a multi pot piston and combi brakes |
 |
|
right parts are fitted and am now ready to bleed my brakes
normal single front and rear is easy but how do you go about bleeding them when
the front and rear lever work the front caliper (two lines and two pots with two nipples
and then a separate line to the rear one that also works off the rear lever
this is on my burgman still ____________________ gilera runner vxr200 (chavped)
if its spelt wrong its my fat fingers and daft auto correct on my tablet |

If you can't find the recommended procedure in the manual, I would start by bleeding from the furthest point away from the master cylinder first, and work your way back.
Some braking systems suggest that you bleed backwards - forcing fluid through the bleed nipples, and syphoning the master cylinder as it fills up. ____________________ Honda Varadero XL125(V8)

Too much magic. I never managed to get the front on my Burgman fully hard (leave it) after replacing the pads. Fortunately, the rear/combined was excellent and it still stopped harder than anything I had before or since.
I didn't try reverse bleeding it though, but I'm now mega gay for that method so would suggest giving that a go. Rear first, most likely. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Oh, while I remember, the rear piston is one of those freaky wind-in jobs like on cars. I totally did not wrap a rag round it and use grips to wind it in. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
