I have that exact kit. It works, but not as clean and easy as advertised. You need 3 hands, though it will pull the fluid through.
I bought it to do a six pot front brake on a ZX7R which was a complete git. Superdream's are easy. Just mind any new paint.

I just bled the brakes on the lounge Dream by nipple up, same as reverse but sounds sexier.
Spent 2 hours the normal way and nadda.
Gee.
Seemingly it's the banjo bolt that holds air.

Not looked at willy's vid, on hols & phone is being a pain to access the forum, but I think I use something similar to him & Gee, a syringe & a bit of tube attached to the bleed nipple to reverse bleed & it works fine

Hi Gee, What do you mean by 'nipple up'? Did you use this kit and pumped the fluid up to the master cylinder. I had bought one a while ago and it broke.... very quickly. Maybe a quality control issue.... who knows. I bled mine recently, wasnt amazing but then left a cable tie over the lever for a few days and it did sort the spongyness. |
