Also when bleeding the brakes tap the caliper with a spanner to free up air bubbles between pumping the brake. Really helps to get the air out Did the same thing on the 848 I let a piston pop out when changing break pads and had to bleed the brakes. The front is easy as the bleed nipple is at the top of the caliper but the rear is at the bottom making it more difficult to get the air out
Well I spotted a big big mistake. When you took the cap off the rubber vacuum seal was out that needed to be pushed back in. When the lever is pulled the fluid is pushed through the line so creates a vacuum in the sealed resovoir the rubber get pulled down and goes back up when you release the lever and the fluid returns to the resovoir not doing this causes the rubber to be stretched and split.
The tubes I used are actually for an oxygen mask lol. But all bikes should be the same size and you can buy regular tubing that will work from a hardware store.
Bro you need a air gap in your resvoir, if you don't and they boil they will lock up your front and...well you know the rest. Watch Dave moss r6 brake pad change, he explains all this...stay safe.

When it’s time to pump the brake and build pressure what do I do if it don’t build pressure neeeed help
Where do you get the tubes to bleed them and do all bikes take the same tube size ? Thanks

Should do furthest away from master cylinder first
chris vann why?
Always a best practice, so sure why not.
Yup
What brand levers?
Nicely done CC, very informative 👍🏼
+Shifty 1050 Thanks a lot glad it helps!

That's only for when you change the brake pads
1:35 my reservoir is empty does that mean i need to add fluid in and bleed it too? ('07 R6 owner)
do your brakes even work? you need to fill it asap and bleed
Lmfao
update: turns out it was so full that it looked empty 😂 we all good people
@@amandeeperz Ohh ok ok. Lol yeah man, glad to hear you're still alive 😅.
Chaos where do i buy the clear tubing?
A pharmacy or local hardware store should have some.
@@ChaosCauses What size is the clear tubing?
@@ScotchMonster 3/16" ID and 5/16" OD
Under rated channel great video ty
What mm wrench is that?
8mm to crack the bleed nipple
It’s a spanner mate 😂 8mm
Nice tidy job well done bro 👍🏻Adam 🇬🇧
+Adam Stratford Thanks dude👍🏻👍🏻
@@ChaosCauses yo whats good, can you make a vid on removing the r6 tank and draining all the gas, then i guess refilling it with the tank off
Another amazing vid!
Your videos are the best.
Do you have a video how to change clutch fluid?
Is your bike equipt with ABS sir?
No it isn't only from 2017 onwards do R6s have ABS as far as I know
You should've completely drained it then bleed it so its all new uncontaminated fluid also always use a new bottle
Awesome video 👍
So im going to do a valve service on an r6 in december....i think the engine hase to come ou O.O
+Rockabilly Rambler That sounds like an enormous and intimidating job! Good luck man I’m sure it will go well!
