When bleeding the brakes (an old tip from American Honda... yes I was a tech back then) Do NOT pull the brake lever all the way to the handlebar when bleeding the brake. I tie a shop rag onto the grip and place the knot between the grip and the lever. Pull the lever til it touches the knot but no farther. Keeps the seal from going farther than needed.
I tend to use a syringe to do my brakes, saves a lot of pumping. Either pump fluid up into the line like the man with the turkey baster, or draw fluid down from the master cylinder, saves a lot of work.
Here's a hack a mechanic taught me years ago. He took a large turkey baster and attached a clear tube to it just like the one you used here, sealing the connection with alternating layers of silicone and electrical tape. You use it by sucking up some fluid, then push the tube onto the bleeder and sqeeze the bulb. It forces the fluid up the line and fills the master cylinder. I've used this method on many bikes. It works well.

Great job Dino, You make it look so much easier than it really is and without cussing!
Thank you Dino. Your CB750 videos have been extremely helpful. You are a legend.

Another trick is once bled..cable tie lever overnight, any remaining air can slowly work uts way back to the mc overnight
Thanks man
Nice to watch Your movies. I hope some day I will buy CB750 and rebould it. Best regards from Poland!
Thanks for posting the video. Now I have my front brakes working again.

Nice job with the video, Dean! Getting close to being a rider (a legal one!)
CB750 is my dream and favorate bike !
coming along nicely well done deano
Well done!
you can seat the first seal onto the spring and then install.
well made sir
Short strokes will get the job done quick!
Dino looking forward to seeing you put on the hand grips I want to replace mine but just not sure how to do it
great great great.
Have you ever tried pushing the caliper piston back while opening the bleeder before emptying the lines to get all the gunk out of the caliper ? ?
Looking shiny that CB!
