You've just made my day guys. I've had issues with my Brembo front brakes for months now. Bled them twice and the lever still kept compressing all the way to the bars. Watched this and bled the master cylinder...hey presto a big bubble came out and now I have full resistance again. Thanks once again. Cheers from Melbourne 👍
Hey van I've got a 2006 gsxr 1000 running brembo m/c steel lines and standard brake caliper. When I bleed my lever is rock hard nut after the first ride it gets a little soft and stays like that. Any ideas???
Sounds like you have some seals failing in either the master or the calipers. This is likely to be the case if the lever gets progressively worse the more you ride it. Important to be running some quality brake fluid like the Motul RBF600 as well. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear hi van thanks for the reply it doesnt get worse it just loses a bit of pressure and stays like that, the brakes still work well just not as effiecntly as when they are first bled. thanks
I like your advice to get 100% air out is to tie brake lever down overnight or trailer trip & amazing to find air/bubbles out in the morning. Had to refill master cylinder. Thanks for sharing.
Did you have issues with the abs system? My service manual states I need to use the diagnostics coupler to test the abs once the brakes have been bled and the brake lines replaced. I have a 2019 MT-07 with ABS. Thanks in advance.
No there were no issues with the ABS system. At most you could ride the bike after bleeding the brakes, activate the ABS and evaluate the feel of the lever and pedal. If either feels softer just bleed it a little more to purge that air out. - Van
I just blessed my rear brakes and I still don't have any pressure on the brakes the rear break doesn't even brake. Any ideas. There's no air in brake line.
I am having trouble with my 06 cbr 600rr rear brake I have bled the crap out of it but my piston gets really tied up and does not release any pressure it just stays out. Brake lines are good I cleaned the caliper in and out and same thing.any suggestions plz Help.
Why is the process for lever depression and open/close bolt sometimes one way and then other times the opposite? A guess would be that: 1. open bolt -> lever depression -> lever release -> close bolt would be for fluid siphon to get general fluid movement and 2. Lever depression -> open bolt -> close bolt -> lever release would be for one-way fluid travel to only allow air bubbles in one direction. Is that close to accurate or am i wrong?
@@sportbiketrackgear makes sense, i just mean you have varying methods in your video, so im trying to make sense of it, unless i misunderstood. For example, at about 4:00 you open bolt -> press lever -> close bolt -> release lever. Then, at 4:30 and elsewhere like 5:30, you press lever -> open bolt -> close bolt -> release lever.
my rear brake has no pressure whatsoever. I've been told to bleed them. I was involved in an accident where the bike slid on the right side if thats of any help. Is bleeding them gonna help
Something I've wondered is, many bikes (maybe most or all?) have a crossover line between the right side caliper and the left side caliper that goes over the fender. At least with stock lines. Is that high point in the system susceptible to getting air bubbles trapped?
ok so you're introducing fluid to a dry system, easy peasy and gravity is great there.. but what about a brake flush? how is the push method for that instead of drawing it out / leaking it out??
The push method will get the fluid evacuated faster. Open screw, pull the lever in and hold, close screw and repeat. Keep an eye on the reservoir and refill with new fluid before you introduce air into the system. I like to use the Speed Bleeder bag and hose kit when doing this.

hey bud im pretty new to the sportbike scene, i bought a 2005 gsxr 750 and it needs new brakes and i was wondering what you would recommend. Ive been seeing some good reviews on the EBC HH Sintereds and the Vesrah SRJL 17's. Im just street riding, what would you say would be my best bet? Thanks
Sportbike Track Gear its a brand new honda grom clone 2018 from china, the brakes are brand new, they never worked, when i press down on the lever the pads dont hold the disk not even a little bit, so i tried bleeding them but the fluid just goes straight back into the system when i open it, thanks
Sportbike Track Gear i can also make a video of the brakes if you need, thank you so helping out man, i would take it to a mechanic but i dont have a lot of money right now
not trying to make fun...but thats the second time..second video i saw you smack the wheel when tightening the nipple hahaa!!!...your video was extremely helpful...thanks for uploading all the awesomeness.
We use Motul 300v Oil and Motul RBF600 Brake Fluid in all of our bikes. Here are links to both on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/Motul?sort=bestselling It costs a couple bucks more, money well spent IMO. - Van

Happy to hear this was helpful and thank you for watching! - Van
Every time I need something done on my motorcycle this is the channel I come to for info! Thank you STG!
Happy to help and thank you for watching! - Van
I absolutely love all these install and maintenance videos. I almost want to go to school to be a motorcycle mechanic and open up my own shop
Thanks! Owning a shop is great, just make sure to keep it out of Metro Detroit... ;D
a trick : watch series on Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Kaleb Ivan Definitely, been using Flixzone} for months myself :D

I would tear down the rear master and have a look. There may be some debri or corrosion in the bore. - Van

If you do not close the bleeder screw before you release the lever you will suck air back into the system. - Van

There is a good chance bleeding them will help, Make sure that your lines and master were not damaged in the crash.
Did you ever fix the issue with the rear banjo bolt? I am installing mine now and I am having the same issue where I may have to use the stock banjo.
Not sure what issue you are referring to (this was shot a long time ago), we installed both the banjo bolts on this rear line no worries. - Van
Something I've wondered is, many bikes (maybe most or all?) have a crossover line between the right side caliper and the left side caliper that goes over the fender. At least with stock lines. Is that high point in the system susceptible to getting air bubbles trapped?
There is enough pressure moving through the lines when bleeding that the gravity only really matters in the calipers and master.
Thanks!
Or just use speed bleeders and you dont need to do the open/close part. Just pump away till no air bubbles
That is another option for sure. - Van
Question Dan are you a mechanic or were you before tell me how you know how to work with bikes thank you
Why you didnt bleed master cylinder first??
I like to get the fluid down to the calipers first. - Van

Hi StG I really do love watching your guide videos speacially with Yamaha R3 I’m just wondering what brake fluid are you using ?what kind of oil?
When i open it all the fluid goes back into the brakes help me please i tired of only riding with front brakes
What is the year, make and model of your bike? Also why are you bleeding the brakes? Happy to help out - Brian Van
