It's a new to me bike. At first I had to pump the brake several times before it would hold (like, 10 times) but now after I attempted to bleed them I can't get any hold no matter how many times I pump. I'm going to get a pump bleeder tomorrow and try again. BTW - Will pump bleeders sold at auto parts stores work or do I need a "motorcycle" specific bleeder?
Thanks

The bleeders you can get at like Auto Zone will work. It should come with everything you will need. You may have to pick up some longer pieces of clear hose, it just makes it easier to reach both ends of the bike by yourself.
