How to Use a Pneumatic Bleeder on Motorcycle Brakes

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Seth Williams, I work for D-K Service and I'm here to tell you about simple street bike brake repair and inspection. Now we're going to be bleeding the brake system. This is for the most part a two man job, you're going to need one person to bleed the brakes, one person to fill the reservoir. Especially with a pneumatic bleeder which we're going to be using today. This is about the easiest route you can take. As you can see I've taken the rubber cap off the bleeder bolt. This particular motorcycle is going to have two bleeder's; one for each system. So we're going to go ahead and bleed each side starting with the farthest side. So what I'll do is get behind there with my wrench and preset that on there; it is an 8 millimeter for the most part. Sometimes it can be a 10 millimeter. And we're ready to go. So, undo the lock nut, look over manual bleeder, break that loose. As you can see here, we're going to start getting fluid through the caliper; it's going to be how we bleed our brake system. Now see, that's good and tight. Bleed your system through."
