RXX Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The manual directs me to use the mityvac only on the outer bleed valve on the right side. It makes it look like this is the only bleed valve that is opened during the procedure. Am I missing something? Does the fluid pull through the entire system in one pass? Seems too easy for me.

bpg Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Here you go: http://www.ixxra.com/yosbleedingthebrakes.htm EXXcellent post! I'm waiting on a stator cover gasket (should have shown up today!) and decided to replace the front pads and bleed all the lines since I had the rear cowl already off anyway. Your instructions were great, thanks! FWIW, I got over 46K miles from a set of EBC HH sintered front pads - and they still had many thousands of miles left judging by the remaining thickness (I replaced them with another set of EBC HH's). Can't wait to put the damn new stator on & ride!!! This might be worthwhile posting in the reference section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redxxrdr Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I used Yo's write up today. Had my 12 year old help me bleed the clutch and the brakes. Chris and I both learned alot and the brakes are firmer than ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X1rider Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I got a $25.00 Vacuum brake bleeder from Harbor Freight. Made the job a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
