Reverse Bleeding How-To (SOOO EASY!) 

Awesome! Let me know how it goes! This is the best way to keep those air bubbles out of the line

Thanks! This works better on clutch systems, and you'd need to possibly unbolt the other end of the line to avoid complications with the master cyl. I've bled abs systems this same way, I just needed to disconnect one line at a time from the abs block

Thanks!

It sounds like the internal seals on the slave cylinder unfortunately. There should be fluid leaking also if you hear that sound, and if you can see it then it will likely be behind the slave cylinder when you pull it off. I'd definitely pull the slave off and investigate further since brake fluid isn't good on paint

Negative, you aerate the fluid that way. On a dry system you're putting fluid on top of the air and the constant pumping adds bubbles to the fluid. Vacuum bleeding or pressure bleeding (this method) don't aerate the fluid.

air is lighter and will rise. reverse bleeding makes complete sense. Or perhaps a hybrid... partially bleed normally to remove bottom sediment... and then inject fluid/reverse

Awesome! You don't see many sf848s around. I've only talked to one guy with an '11 sf1098, identical except for the black frame. I'm running rizoma bar ends. I really like them

@@LegitRaceCraft Well it's a rare bike even here in Italy, there are approx 1600 1098s (both base model and S) and 1400 848s

I didn't know the numbers were that low! Wow

I would probably still clean the line just to do it, but you shouldn't need to worry about sediment much since it mainly sinks to the bottom of the system and you're changing the line and caliper

@@LegitRaceCraft awesome I appreciate the quick response. Thanks again
