brakes
Hey all !
I'm not sure if this has been covered so bear with me.
I am changing front brake pads tomorrow, should I also bleed the brake lines?
Only 25thousand miles on bike (2003 Electra classic). Is bleeding brakes very hard?
Rear brakes don't need replacing, I guess I don't use them much. They still
have 60% pad left.
Thanks
Dennis

RE: brakes
I'm changing all three sets of brakes on my Ultra this weekend also...
I have around 35K miles on it and have not changed the brake fluid yet but I was considering it this time. Its really easy as long as you have Dot 5 synthetic brake fluid and shop rags.
One thing about bleeding brakes just make sure the reservoir does not run out. You do not need any air in the line so be vigilant...
I have a one-man brake bleeder kit I purchased from Advance Auto Parts store which will make the job very easy. Look into pickin up one of these kits. They're around $7.
