Brake bleed problem
I tried to bleed the front brakes(to change out the fluid)and ran into a problem. It won't bleed. I removed the front brake reservoir cover, hooked up the Mighty Vac to the bleed fitting, pumped it up, opened the bleed fitting and no fluid will come out! I have read through some threads here on how to do this and know about the electronic thingy you have to hook up but I saw that wasn't needed............ What the F did I do wrong now for God's sake?

did you try to gravity bleed them first. Leave the cover off open the bleeder at the bottom and wait for the brake fluid to come out. Then close the bleeder, top of the fluid install cap and then try to bleed again. On my old bike sometimes one had to loosen the bango bolt as air would get stuck at that point and not allow it to pass.

On bikes with ABS you need to bleed between the Master Cylinder and the ABS module electronically. It has to be hooked up to a computer, either Digital Technician II at a dealership or an Indy shop that has Techno Research. after that part is bled you bleed from the module to the Calipers the normal way.
