Bleeding the brakes
Can someone give me the easy way on bleeding the brakes. I just cleaned my front calipers, and decieded to use my fzr parts first and see what happens before I buy r6 parts.
Re: Bleeding the brakes
Is that the only way to do it. I was trying to find aanother way to do it.

You could try a mityvac, though it's a bit more expensive. Pefrey's way works perfectly well, it's even cheaper.

I picked up a vacuum tool from Harbor Freight & it works well for a cheep tool.
I used it on a completely dry hydraulic clutch set-up on a Yamaha FJ1200 & it worked great. Just make sure you keep an eye on the master cylinder reservoir so it doesn't go empty on you.
The Ketchup squeeze bottle looks like a good way to go also.
