been tryin to fix my brakes since yesterday and still cant get the frikin thing working properly since yesterday... running on half back and no pressure in the front atm..

 

[rotn50]

Hey tim, let the front gravity bleed, crack the nipple on the caliper and wait for it to start flowing without touching the brakes at all but have the cap off the master cylinder to refill when it starts running, or just take your brake fluid and tools out to the track and someone will give you a hand to sort it mate.

 

[Lifan Rockstar]

Just come out timm wont need front out here but will help u fix it bring both bikes man

 

[Lifan Rockstar]

I dont have any brakes at all lol

 

[tim_]

will try that mate... now the problem is.. i crack the bleed nipple and press down on the rear brake... refillin it and not letting any air go back in the nipple but its only putting the smallest amount of pressure on the brake disc..

 

[tim_]

I dont have any brakes at all lol

hahaha its bad enough i would be shttin me self out there seeings how i barely stand up on the flat.. i would need brakes just for piece of mind.. lol

Hey bud, the backs can be an absolute mission to bleed.

Firstly remove the hose(from the master cylinder and caliper) and filler cap off the master cylinder, fill both sections full with fluid, hold your finger tight over the threaded hole that the hose hooks up to, while pressing very tight push the brake lever up and down until the fluid pushes past the seal your finger is creating and you are unable to hold the pressure then fill both sections again(if there is no pressure, master cylinder is bad), now attach the hose and banjo bolt to the master cylinder and tighten but leave the filler cap off so you can fill the cylinder with fluid when it gets low, now holding the hose seal, the other end(caliper end) with your thumb and finger creating a tight seal, holding the hose below the master cylinder start pumping the brake lever and when depressing release the seal on the end of the hose with your finger slightly letting some air out but seal again before lever reaches bottom, and keep doing this until the pressure reaches a point you cannot hold it from pushing past your fingers, when this happens keep it sealed and hold the hose above the master cylinder, make sure the caliper is filled with fluid also(make sure the caliper is full of fluid where the hose attaches) still holding the hose above the master cylinder insert the banjo bolt and washers and then quickly attach the hose to the caliper, so it should all be back together.

Holding your thumb over the filler on the master cylinder start pumping your brakes up, after about ten presses on the lever loosen the nipple on the caliper and fluid should start running out of it if you did it right, do not pump the lever and let it gravity bleed, keep an eye on the filler as the fluid runs out filling it up(do not depress the lever at all while the nipple is loose), its a lot to take in but doing it in sections like this you know you have fluid in every part of the system, if it did not work try again.
