The braking system needs care to function well and the presence of air inside the disc brake fluid makes the brakes spongy and inaccurate. The following brake bleeding tutorial can be performed by anyone with very few tools, very DIY. The bleeding of the brake system can be done by yourself and we used a triumph bonneville as a "model" for this tutorial. Extract from the episode: Bleeding your brakes is not a difficult process, but if it’s not done properly it can take all day and it can compromise the quality of the braking. Here is how to bleed motorcycle brakes by yourself: First of all I need to loosen the purging fitting on the brake caliper and connect it to a length of clear plastic hose. The hose needs to be routed upward and then looped around a couple of times so that the oil that will come out from the caliper will form a sort of a one way valve that won’t allow the air to flow back into the system. Then everything is secured with a zip tie. Now I can open the reservoir tank… And fill it up with DOT 5 brake oil trying not to make a mess like I’m doing right now. To bleed the system and flush out the air I start pumping the lever and when the system is full, oil starts pouring out of the bleeding valve on the caliper. As you can see a mixture of oil and air bubbles are coming out of the valve. Those air bubbles have to go, because being air a compressible gas, it would compromise the quality of the braking. After quite a lot of pumping and a few oil refills of the reservoir, we can see that the air bubbles are diminishing until they disappear. At this point I can tighten the bleeding valve and then remove the plastic hose. The reservoir can also be closed at this time and the braking system is ready to go... well, actually is ready to stop… Remember to leave a comment, like and share our video to support the show.
