Yamaha Tenere 700 | DIY Rear Brake Bleed Fix Soft Braking

The Yamaha Tenere 700 is a great adventure motorcycle, but one of the biggest complaints riders have is the soft braking. I will show you how to perform a rear brake bleed without any specialty tools. I did notice a few bubbles in the brake fluid as I was bleeding, which tells me there may have been some air in the system. I am yet to upgrade rear brake pads, this is also a very popular upgrade with T7 owners.

I installed The Fix from camel. Love it. Did not ride for a month and when I took it out the brake light was stuck ON
AND ZERO brake pressure. Totally frustrated because I did not notice until I was on my ride. Rear brake no biggie.
Used your bleed method. Perfecto!! Thanks

[@AdventureTomek]

Awesome! Glad it helped 🍻

interesting to see other peoples process for bleeding brakes. How i was taught and people i know do it, we always pump it 3 or 4 times and hold it before we opening the bleeder valve. Then following the same steps. It was definitely getting time to replace the fluid.

[@AdventureTomek]

I might have to check the front soon.

[@QuickShifter]

thanks for the video mate! I'm gonna replace the OEM brake lines with Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines, still cant believe why yamaha putting those plastic hoses.

[@AdventureTomek]

This is on my wishlist for the bike as well.
Let me know how the bike feels after you yet the upgrade

[@ralfabel8657]

The Camel "The Fix" is awesome. I'm really tempted to buy the GYTR rear brake kit as well. New brake rotor, new braided SS line, and new mount for the caliper that is lighter.

[@AdventureTomek]

Damn! That’s sounds like it would do the trick.
I’ll do a pad up grad evaluation and was looking into the SS line.
Someone showed me a kit where it eliminates the rear ABS as well with the new shorter SS line

[@motonoob-i2d]

Im about to install the Galfer braided brake line kit on mine

[@AdventureTomek]

I would like to try that once these OEM pads are done.

[@XFBO]

My only critique, if the plan is to purge out the old fluid and replace with new. It'd be a lot quicker to soak up the old/dirty fluid in that reservoir with a paper towel, then fill and pump away as you instructed.

[@AdventureTomek]

Great tip!

[@brykevans60]

Thanks mate!

[@AdventureTomek]

You're welcome!

[@dzieburs]

I made vacuum bleeder of spray bottle nozzle. So much easier to replace brake fluid. Cost 2 euros or even less.

[@RudelVOD]

Did you mount your tires tubeless?

[@AdventureTomek]

Not, still have tube.

[@RudelVOD]

@@AdventureTomek Thank you!! Also in the video of the carpuride I will post another question!!
