I live in the U.K. so it doesn't make that much sense to buy parts from Partzilla but just wanted to say I think these videos are excellent and really make doing DIY maintenance on your bike so much more accessible. It's easy to understand, taught by a good professional and relaxed teacher...honestly could watch your videos all day long. Thanks for creating this great content.
Just did this today but from a caliper and pad change. Folks anti-seize those pins man. Ole fashion pump lever method worked great. A syringe does the same just open and pull plunger topping off if you need to and shut bleeder while pulling plunger out. Repeat. These mini vacs are like 300 dollars awesome for a shop but normal people a 700mL syringe will do. That’s like 1.5 fills.
When doing a brake fluid flush on a GSXR 1000 do you start with the left side calliper that's furthest from master cylinder then do the right side calliper then finish with the master cylinder. When the system has old fluid is this not the best way to flush with new fluid?
Thanks for the Video ....Very Helpful because I thought something was wrong after 1st few times if trying to pump and bleed due to it stop feeling loose
Good vid...so, i noticed that you began from de nearest point to the farest. My question is. does it afect to the final result if i been doing this backwards??
When i tried to bkeed ny 2008 750 rear brakes it barley pushed the fluid, what could it be? Worth to overhaul it? When i compare how much it pushed in this video, it's like 3 times more, and i would also say rear brakes are not so "brakey"
With the vacuum method, it pulls the fluid through and the air bubbles with it. Once you've pulled half to three quarters of the reservoir, the air should have pulled through as well. Close the bleeder and check brake pressure.
My GSXR1000 K3 (uk 2003) doesn’t seem to have a bleeder valve by the front brake reservoir. I changed front pads, accidentally letting a little fluid escape by right disc calliper, but left, then right callipers bled ok. Brake feeels firm and strong, though had to adjust brake lever step out couple clicks, since action became closer to h/bar. Reservoir never ran low and topped up normal.
I have question on the back caliper there is a ruber grommet covering I think it's bolt on a 2012 gsxr 1000 it has grease on it but I accidentally pulled that rubber piece off now my moves a little how do I get it back on or how important is it
so bleeding my brakes on k4 gsxr 600... im getting fluid from the right caliper not getting any from the left... do i keep restarting the bleed process from the top until fluid reaches the left side or is there a possible problem with the caliper? thanks in advance
Hey partzilla guys i have a dilemma concerning the front brakes. I have a 2007 suzuki gsxr1000 and i have taken the calipers apart and cleaned them out and i have put on stainless lines and new hh sinterd pads and all new fluid and recently had the dealer put on a new master cylinder for the safety recall. I have bled and mityvaced the system at 6 times and went through 4 bottles of fluid, and the lever is still spongy and travels about an inch before firming up and the lever is about an inch from the bar. And the brakes drag a bit. I have even tried the zip tie method several times to no avail. Way confused never had this much trouble with a brake system in 20 years. Any help would be great thanks.
@@PartzillaParts i know your right but the modulation is awful, all i can think of is to pull the calipers and totally rebuild them with new seals and pucks. But thanks for your help and all your grat videos and tutorials.
@@fadetoblackMotorcycle No i havent fixed it yet but it is a bit better since i put the stock levers back on. I know what the problem is, and its one of the pistons on the right caliper. It has a few nicks in it and the seal is not great, but its not leaking but it is not retracting all the way back in and that is why it is spongy. So i am going to do a total rebuild with pistons and seals and im about 90 percent sure that should do it. I will let you know what happens so keep in touch. I was just gonna originally upgrade to brembo m4s and a corsa corta mc but for what i do what i have will be more than adequate. But i will not get to it until this winter because work has been slow because of covid, so it will be early spring before i have any answers.
I have a new GSX-R front-end. How would I go about filling a *completely empty* frontend brake line(s)? Any different from the flushing method here? There's also a line going from the right-hand caliper to the left-hand caliper, over the fender. How do you keep air bubbles from resting at that high point over the fender?
There's a bleeder nipple on the front brake master cylinder (lever) - also you should bleed air at all the banjo bolts as well Start from the bottom and work your way up to the top...
Hey I need help please help me someone I have a 110cc atv and I am doing everything your supposed to do but when I try to use the electric start and don't make a sound the only sound it makes is the noise of you pushing in the button
hey partzilla I have a yfz450 I just wanted to know why my lights flicker/pulsate when it's idling and when you accelerate it the lights go brighter :( does anyone know the problem?
Every year is excessive and overkill. Depending on your climate conditions and wherr you store you bike, 3 to 5 years is more than okay. But really, the color and feel is almost always the indicator.

Can you get Amsoil there??
what a great series. I am doing my brakes this week and am so grateful for these videos.

They are on sale right now on jb tools for $149
First really well detailed video I've seen 👏

Wonder if your brake lever doesn't send fluid to the front brake and you have no pressure
Excellent job, but how can you tell when all of the air bubbles have been removed from the fluid when using the mityvac?
With the vacuum method, it pulls the fluid through and the air bubbles with it. Once you've pulled half to three quarters of the reservoir, the air should have pulled through as well. Close the bleeder and check brake pressure.
so its needed to start from the top down?
My GSXR1000 K3 (uk 2003) doesn’t seem to have a bleeder valve by the front brake reservoir. I changed front pads, accidentally letting a little fluid escape by right disc calliper, but left, then right callipers bled ok.

‘How To’ video was for 2007 model
I have question on the back caliper there is a ruber grommet covering I think it's bolt on a 2012 gsxr 1000 it has grease on it but I accidentally pulled that rubber piece off now my moves a little how do I get it back on or how important is it
Very informative! How do I place the baffle over the port in the bottom of my clutch master cylinder on my 2009 GL-1800?
so bleeding my brakes on k4 gsxr 600... im getting fluid from the right caliper not getting any from the left... do i keep restarting the bleed process from the top until fluid reaches the left side or is there a possible problem with the caliper? thanks in advance
Thanks for your video.
Thanks for watching!
looked up that hydraulic bleeder and wow it aint cheap
What brake fluid? Rbf 600?
why that caliper have 2 brake hose??
Nice video, thanks

With everything you've done, there really isn't anything left. Not leaking anywhere or loss of fluid? You literally listed every component.
@@PartzillaParts i know your right but the modulation is awful, all i can think of is to pull the calipers and totally rebuild them with new seals and pucks. But thanks for your help and all your grat videos and tutorials.
Not leaking fluid at all anywhere but one caliper does drag pretty good. I shall start there with a complete rebuild.
@@bhansen206 did you fix it? (having exact same issue on my bike)

Start from the bottom and work your way up to the top...
Why are SSOOOO many air bubbles coming out of that system? Never seen that that bad.

Battery? Fuses? This could literally be anything. Start with the battery and work you way to the stator. Test everything.
Thanks bro💯🏍️💯💯👌🏾
So if they were brand new brakes would you fill all the way?
If you replace the pads without changing fluid, you may have to drain a little. Otherwise, once installed, fill er up!
Is it use Dot5 breaking oil ?
Dot 4
hey partzilla I have a yfz450 I just wanted to know why my lights flicker/pulsate when it's idling and when you accelerate it the lights go brighter :( does anyone know the problem?
Test your charging system, also try adjusting your idle a little higher.
How to bleed brakes on Combined Braking models? like CBR250? they have 2 bleeder valve in front caliper...
Just do the bleed procedure on both valves
Partzilla okay thanks
Thank you.
Good deal idk to take the break resavour off
That poor rusty bolt @ 5:20, my ocd would have to sort that out 😫
Sweet
Cover up your plastics/calipers with a towel so that fluid doesn't corrode your bike!
wow im guilty of not flushing my brake fluid for the past 8 yrs.. only topped them up
Wouldn't hurt to give a flush. It may be a little overdue.
Every year is excessive and overkill. Depending on your climate conditions and wherr you store you bike, 3 to 5 years is more than okay. But really, the color and feel is almost always the indicator.
Mr. Rogers @ 2:49
hahahah
Nah, I'm still working on it manually. No pump. See you in an hour
no drz 400 rebuilt ?
Ha! We were recently talking about that bike. We are working on finding one for a series.
I bleed my brakes every month. Not every year.
