Bleed questions....

[Monty]

Hey guys,

Getting ready to put new pads on my '03 and flush/replace the brake fluid. Going to be my first time doing myself. So I have two questions. First, is there a particular pattern I should use on the front, like left (sitting on the bike) first then right? And, second, I need some clear tube for my vacuum pump, what inside diameter size works best on the Busa bleeders?

Thanks!

the flush should be painless...

Get some tube to fit over bleeder, run to a cup on the ground and open the bleeder. (Do NOT pump brakes, do this via "Gravity", no vacuum, no pumping, just patience)
DO NOT allow the master to go dry and run about 8 ounces of fluid through the left side caliper first (farthest away) and then another 4 or 6 ounces out of the right side.. (one at a time).. Although this does not replace 100% of the fluid, if done once or twice a year, moisture will not be a problem..
