Bleeding Brakes

Suzuki GSX-F 600

I have recently replaced the brake pads on above mentioned bike. I removed
the calipers completely from the bike at the time and gave them a good
cleaning too.

Since then I have tried to bleed the brakes to regain the initial pressure
on the lever however I still can't manage to get that initial pressure
despite flushing through nearly two litres of fluid over a period of three
weekends.

Brakes do work, but as I say the initial lever pressure is not there.

Any tips/advice on what I am doing wrong?

 

Go to the Vets and ask for a lamb feeding syringe, there about a quid

Say it as you See it wrote

Dunno but most of the advice good given here for bleeding brakes is
mentioned somewhere in the ffaq, the url of which is repeated here on a
weekly basis so I won't bother doing it all again. Or it should be and
if it ain't then you have good grounds for complaint because telling
fo0lks to **** off and read the ffaq is how we get rid of dipshits who
can't be arsed to read it in the first place and keep on coming up with
the same old FREQUENTLY ASKED FUCKING QUESTIONS time and time and time
again and it gets right boring having to deal with it and one day we are
all going to take a week off the free advice line together and you will
be fucked because you will have work something out for yourself for
probably the first time in your pathetic life and I doubt you are even
capable of realising that let alone doing it.



Although, just coming to light are some tests done in a workshop
somewhere with doing something about the microbubbles that give you all
the problems and using sound to shift them. All it needs apparently is
a woofer (dom will do but sub is best) and something redolent in bass.

Presumably some deaf as a post spanner wanker found out when he was
listening to a bit of Guns and Roses or something but it turns out that
if you get your bass bin as close as you can to the lines and give it
muchos decibels of low end frequencies it works a treat and makes all
the ickle bubbles get all friendly and big and floaty.

Mozart is a non starter obviously, as he wrote for young ears and all
them twinkley bright high frequency bits just don't cut it with the
brake fluid in the way that it should.

Course it goes without saying that the level of decibels needed might
well annoy the neighbours if done in the middle of the night but are we
not here to teach others the true meaning of tolerance?

 

Just duct-tape your Rabbit to the brake line.

This, dear reader, is where Happy Hardcore becomes a biker's best
friend.

 

That would drive me nuts, never mind the neighbours. To each their
own, especially when it comes to choice of weapon for psychological
warfare...

I couldn't put up with all that stuff you hairy people listen to.

My point exactly.
