How to bleed front brake

Thanks mate fingers crossed

 

Thanks heaps grey there's a few steps the manual didn't mention so if the ziptye trick dosent work I'll rebleed thanks everyone for you help

 

Hi guys update for ya still no go so I pulled of both calipers and strip them down one seal for top piston had pop out so cheked and puled them apart andput back on bleed them tomorow beer frige is calling keep you posted

 

yeah, sucks big time having a lazy brake piston - promotes uneven wear on the pads

 

if the seal had popped then air had to get in.

 

Think we just found the culprit, tomorrow brakes will come on.

 

if you run short of dot5.1 i can help you.

 

thanks risky but I'm in tas mate lol can I run dot 5.1 in my system iv only been runing dot 4 might give it a go

 

yep

 

Still no go time for a mechanic arrrr 85 an hour

 

Mate, sorry to hear about that. I felt certain that the seal was the culprit. All I can think is perhaps the master cylinder is the problem. Had an issue with my X7 some years back, took the master cylinder to a brake guy here on the Sunshine coast, problem fixed. Keep us posted.

 

thanks phil and will do

 

sorry to hear. hope it is an easy fix.

 

Bloody fixed it 10 slow pumps with the cap on bleed cap of five slow pumps pop unstuck piston bleed the lines spot on brakes 85 an hour in my pockit thanks everybody for your help and council this is the best site community cheers. got a bottle of jacks to celibraite and ill have drink for all motoGP

 

Well done mate, think we were starting to despair about your brakes. Now the open road awaits. and you can stop.

 

goodonya, now i drink frangellico.

 

so what do you consider the main problem why the bleeding did not work earlier?

 

I was bleeding the caliper not the line risky . Just got back from brighton and the beast runs WICKED with the new jets in full throttle responce no probs at high speed and i can STOP bring on the sunny days. ps the new forks handle sweet cheers.
