Can't believe this only has 1.1k views. I just bought a drz and you have no idea how helpful this entire series will be. Thanks a ton for making these videos!
Nice video as usual Tim. 2 things. 1, they make these check valve type of bleeders that you don’t have to pump, open and close, the bleeder valve. To remove the air. Open the bleeder valve, with the check valve installed via tubing, pump till the air is gone, tighten bleeder. Remove tubing with check valve installed . Done. A great gadget! 2 an ultrasonic cleaner would be a great tool for cleaning these small parts.
Hi Daniel, Yes those "Speed Bleeder" vales are nice. I have a set on my GS that I just installed on the last service (video coming soon). I Agree an ultrasonic cleaner would work great/ Maybe I'll ask Santa for one this year! :) Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Amazing video! One cannot ask for a better explanation of the whole process. Some people were born with the gift of passing knowledge, and not only the will. Thanks a lot for taking the time
One thing to consider is a speed bleeder bag. If you hang that above the bleed fitting, you will have fluid against the fitting at all times and the bubbles will rise into the bag. That way there is no chance of pulling a bubble back into the system in case you release the lever before the fitting is fully seated. Also, sometimes you can crank the bleed fitting open just a little and then just keep pumping fluid through from the master cylinder as what little fluid gets pulled in on the backstroke causes no harm as the expelled air has already risen upwards through the hose.
Hi thanks, this really cleared things up for me. I'm mechanically minded, but always like to prepare myself, and think things through before I start, and this video has helped me do the front caliper on my rmx450z.
Well done. Maybe I am too pedantic but I have one question. Why did you not clean the the outside part of break caliper? I do agree most important is to keep caliper working well but cleaning break caliper simply please the eye and give the feeling that all was done around the breake caliper when it was fully removed.
Great video and I am learning a lot! I guess my only comment is that I would have cleaned and polished all the calipers before putting it back together! That’s just my OCD though, again, great job!
Hi Mark, Yes, I could have done more detailed cleaning and polishing. However, I was just trying to get this up and running for the owner. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Agree on this. Even if a quick job to get something on the road, the chance of contaminating with dirt from the outside is very high. Same with the engine video. But even so, great videos. Very informative and I'm glad to be able to see it all before diving in blind the first time.
Hi Steve, In this case the master cylinders seem to be in good shape. The owner of this DRZ has very limited funds for this project, most of which is going towards the engine rebuild. My thoughts were to flush the system and keep an eye on the masters for leakage. So far, no problems. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

Great informed video to help me rebuild the brakes myself confidently .......Top man thanks !!!
Why see something on Netflix when we have this content on youtube??? =)
Great video. Thanks for sharing.. Let's go to the assembly of the engine.
Thanks, Tim, for the crystal clear demo. 👍
Hey Big Keith, it good to hear from you again. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

Hey LT, I
I have the Speed Bleeder valves on my GSA and they do make the job easier.
Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Tim2Wheels Not the valves, I don’t care for them. The bag. It is like an IV bag, but you put liquid into it rather than drip it out. 😁

Hi Jonathan, I understand, I'm the same way.
I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for the comment.

👍, what about the master cylinders?
