96 suzuki intruder vs1400 how to bleed back brakes on the motorcycle?

having problem bleeding back brakes on my motorcycle

Answer:

Fill reservoir Crack torque on caliper fitting with socket. (Just enough so you don't strip it with wrench.) Using wrench ensure fitting is closed (not tightened to torque spec.) Install drainage tube. Pump brake lever multiple times and hold Crack open bleeder. Allow air bubbles out and old fluid to drain. Close fitting Repeat last 3 until brake lever has desired feel. Sometimes I'll crack open the bleeder and just let it sit for a while. Hour or so. Pump the pedal a couple time during that period. Other times I'll crack the torque on the banjo bolt, as air might be trapped there. Tap on the pots and brake lines with the wrench to help dislodges bubbles. Maybe bleed it a little, just enough, then take it for a short spin. Get's everything hot and flowing. Rebleed. Reride. Rebleed. (Over the course of a week or something like that.) There's always the vac-u-jack at Harbour Freight, too. Mity Mite?
Rags is one way dig a hole an let them turn into worm food another.
u can recycle them, there are clothes banks at places like sainsburys/co-op. they are located in the car parks at ours and they are shredded when collected to be made into more clothes.
