Bleeding hydro brakes is very easy takes about 5 mins

get mineral sprits use that for your brake oil.....get a kids syringe from any pharacy/drug store.... no needle

cut a piece of 1/5 gas line and attach to the end of the syringe

now suck/draw some mineral sprits into the syringe.....take your master's cylinder lid off...open up 1 of the brake cylinder bleed valves and attach the gas line

Now slowly push the minerial sprits from the wheel cylinder to the master cylinder .....after all bubbles have been push to the master cylinder..... close the wheel's bleed valve...........repeat the process for the other wheel/ brake cylinder

Hi!

You should bleed the hydros. I think the bleeding kit should be included with the brakes. Or just a manual how to do it?

they were second hand bubbles included
no blead kit or instructions
the syringe from my bike hydros fit i think i will try hellya advice and c were it gets me
were is the bleed valve i am a novice at hydro
i hav a pic if u could highlight the correct part that would be great
does it have to be mineral sprits and does it mix with what ever is in it already

hellya

the red brake calipers are on the left and right.... the bleed valve is the silver nipple with the hole on top....lefty loosy right tity....open the nipples 1 and 1/2 turns to the left then attach the oil filled syringe with the silicone tubing to the open bleed valve/nipple

Take the black lid off the master cylinder and empty the oil out of the master ....if you have hydro bike oil you can use that just pushh all the other oil out of the lines and replace it with the bike hyro oil....it doesnt take much oil to bleed the entire system

thanks hellya i will try that tomorrow after work
do the calipers need to be mounted to the hubs with the disk brakes to bleed the system out or doesnt it make a differance

greed1

can some one give me some pics of the hydro tube installation which way round do you do the suspension/steering
