Re: [ST] bleeding brakes



When I changed out the brake fluid in mine I did it the old fashion way:
squeeze brake while cracking bleeder, tighten bleeder before releasing
brake.  Worked just fine.  Used alittle more fluid because I didn''t drain
the fluid but it didn't introduce air in the lines.  I just simply added
more new fluid as the old was bled off.  Eventually the new replaced the
old.  Not much of a big deal in a bike because the resevoir is smaller than
a cars.
