CB400 - Front Brake Bleeding.
Integra99:
Yes I bled the bolts.. really messy and panicking with all my nice paint ha!
the bubbles come when I pump the lever a few times to build up some pressure after a bleed and tightening of the nipple.. in the mechanical sense ha!
taysidedragon:
It sounds like there is either air bubbles still in the fluid and need to keep bleeding through - or you may have a leak somewhere in a joint or in the m/c.
Integra99:
Thanks I will keep persisting.. I have a brake but must just be lots of air.. the M/C is new and worked perfectly before the strip down. Will bleed the banjos again top to bottom, then leave a strap around the leave and the cap off over night maybe to force air up.
taysidedragon:
Yep, keep at it. Those pesky air bubbles are a pain! You'll get there. :)
kevski:
Put a couple of wraps of ptfe tape around the thread of the bleed nipple this will stop air getting in there, I always draw fluid through using a 50ml syringe and it only ever takes about half an hour.
