the air bubble was probably in the brake lever itself.....brembo have a bleed valve just to get rid of them.......they can be a real pain and stubborn to get rid of......
Brake fluid is hygroscopic so surely if you leave the master cylinder cap off over night, the fluid will absorb mositure. This does not sound a very intelligent idea to me 🤔🤷♂
Just did mine a week ago. PITA. Wished I heard about this sooner. Thanks for posting, Mark.
The gravity feed bleeding worked great for me Gary. Give it a try sometime!
I had the same problem as u took it to the garage to fix in the end but will try this next time
Another great video. And I love those R-model sportsters
Hey there Two Sheds thanks for watching and the kind comment! Appreciated!!!
Appreciate it! Everyone kept telling me to do this method but I had no idea what they meant. Gotta get pressure back on my 2001 claptrap! Thanks!

Thank you for the info bigobnz!
Did you do each side or just one
So you don’t have to remove the caliper?
This is literally the only way I’ve ever bled brakes on anything, I wasn’t aware of the other ways.
Thanks smadaakram! I always used the pump up method and never tried the gravity bleed method so it was new to me.
