dan williams Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Newest idea, I hate bleeding the rear brake since the high point of the system is the rear master cylinder. So I want to put a bleeder there. The problem is the airbox won’t allow a standard bleeder banjo. So I’m going to try this. I figure if I groove the threads for flow I can put a sealing washer on top and sneak in a cut off allen wrench to bleed when necessary. Titanium? Yup. Overkill? Well yeah! Would work better with the lower profile of a steel bleeder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan williams Posted May 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 On bike. Does work but airbox still too close to open. Going to replace top bolt with small hex head so I can access from side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger144 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 you will bleed as far as master cylinder but you will still need to bleed air from from rear caliper,this best done by holding caliper higher than master cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
