How to Bleed Brakes on a Motorcycle
Hello, great job, need information where to get the part for star shift factory pro 2007 kawasaki zx10r , thanks
@@alfredoroman4267 look up factory pro shift star
I have a micro switch that may be falling apart and I don't have a replacement yet. Presumably, if you were stuck on the side of the road, you would be able to remove the wiring connector and jump the two connectors on the harness and be on your way. (Being very careful about starting in gear of course.) Great video. Good explanation.
@DavidM2002 thanks! Glad it was helpful. just keep in mind that some switches are naturally open and some are naturally closed.
@@TheMotorcycleBoss Good point. Thanks.
Ive replaced the fork seals on a 2008 R6 13S. In some ways the R6 was trickier as you you need a tool that screws into a rod preventing it from sinking ino the fork tube. I found the job impossible despite improvisation, accepted defeat and bought the tool to proceed with the job. Anyway, this seems a little easier than the R6 but I'll definitely refer back to your video if I need to replace fork seals on my Gen 4 ZX10R. Liked and Subscribed.
@EVil-ob8in that threaded rod tool for those forks is pretty vital. I did the same thing on my first set. Trying to do it without the tool seems difficult. The only way I can see it maybe working is if you force a rubber hose on the end and use that to lift it up. Thanks for the sub. Much appreciated!
What about a rotor without this mechanism.. can it flex like the one on my honda pcx ? I keep hearing some noise coming from the brake caliper ?
Solid rotors can be more prone to warping due to the lack of bobbins. With bobbins (or floating rotors) the expansion and contraction due to heat allows some give and flexibility. Solid rotors don't have this ability and when they expand, they can warp. However; you can still reduce brake squeak on Solid rotors by deglazing brake pads, thoroughly cleaning your rotors, tightening bolts to their correct torque specs, and lubricating the proper brake components. I hope this helps! Thanks for commenting!
does this work on the cicada squeak too? because someone told me i needed to seat my pads, and it didn't work.
@npzninja without hearing it for myself, it is difficult to know. There are a few different causes of brake squeak. Just try to remedy it as best you can by performing this trick, thoroughly cleaning your rotors, deglazing brake pads, and ensuring all points are lubed that need to be if necessary for your bike. Sometimes simply installing low quality pads can create a squeak. So upgrading your pads may alleviate the issue if everything else has been done but fails to work. Hope this helps!
@@TheMotorcycleBoss thanks for the tip, but I checked, rotors are brand new (just bought the bike a month ago, although used. I don't think this is the issue. however, I inspected the pads closer and they do look old. maybe i should start there. sucks, i was hoping for a cheap and relatively cheap fix. I know pads will run me anywhere from 50-100bucks, and i need to buy sockets because I don't know what kind of bolt heads are on this bike, but I don't have a tool for em.)
Get a voltage meter on your handlebar
Cannot wait to try!
That’s if it was torqued properly to begin with.
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
Glad I could help!
I know this is an old video now, but thanks 👍🏻
@@nickrider5220 your thanks is much appreciated. Even tho I haven't posted in years, I still respond to everyone I can. The video will forever be relevant as long as there are Gen4 ZX10's still on the road. Glad to be of service! Ride safe!
You’re great thanks saved my bacon .
Glad I could help!
When my bike was hot.. I start my 1300 while in the prime cycle at the beginning... and it works every time
Where is the description? I need part number so I can order all the parts to redo my forks.. Thanks
hm not the issue for me. mine only recently started squeaking but not in a normal way. it squeaks only 1-30 mph and will stop if i go faster. also stops momentarily if i apply front brake
That's a weird one. You figure out the issue?
thank you brother
No problem. I hope this fixes your issue
After few days the same issue repeating, what is the permanent solution for this issue..??
If the issue persists, that means you have too much air still trapped in your lines or in your caliper. Sometimes you have to remove your caliper and move it around while you bleed. Air will get trapped in pockets inside the brake line or caliper that you can't get out without doing this. Remember that the air pockets will always float to the highest point in the system. But if there is an aggressive bend or pocket, they can get stuck. I know having to do this sucks but it needs to be done if your brakes keep getting mushy.
You're the real MVP 👌👌👌👌
Thanks! I hope this was helpful to you! Ride safe!
Bleed my brake in a workshop and this issues occurred. Used this technique and left it overnight for about 8 hours issues have improved, hopefully it will fully fix it the next time I try. Thanks for the tips!
I'm glad it helped at least a little. Usually, if the problem persists, you still have too much air trapped in the system. Sometimes you have to detach the caliper and move it around while bleeding to get out any trapped air. It sucks to do but will almost guarantee a proper bleed. Hope it goes well for you!
I took my forks to a shop and they came back without the centering dowel
Whoa! That sucks. Someone wasn't paying attention for sure!
Thank you.
You're welcome! No problem. Glad to be of service!
Bro stop simping for your girl be a man
Hi mate! Not sure if you can help but I have rebuilt the master cylinder but fluid still won’t go through. Any suggestions? Thanks
Have you considered trying to gravity bleed your system? Also, sometimes you need to prime the master cylinder after rebuilding it by removing the brake line at the master cylinder, cover the hole where the brake line was with your thumb, then squeeze the brake lever a few times. You should eventually feel some air pressure behind your thumb. Allow the air pressure to escape but try to not let much air back in when you release the lever. Do this until you primarily have fluid trying to squeeze past your thumb, then quickly reinstall the brake line and proceed with a gravity bleed. After the gravity bleed is done, continue to bleed as normal. I hope this helps!
What's your recommendation for the most suitable stand for 2016 KTM Duke 680 R . All help appreciated. Thank you.
I'd probably go for a rear stand and a head-lift stand personally.
My 2006 R6 won’t get to neutral on a complete stop with the engine on while when I turn it off it will go at first try. Would this procedure fix this problem too?
It's highly likely that this will fix it if you can get one for your bike. I'd say it's worth a try.
Dude!!! Best maintenance video ive ever seen!!!!
Thank you so much! Compliments like that really make all that work worth it! I hope to hear from you in the future. Ride safe!
have no front brakes on my kawasaki 250😢
You most likely still have too much air trapped in the lines or caliper
I installed a new 2 pot caliper, brake hose still using the stock brake master and somehow we cannot make the brake lever like it was before. Luckily i saw this hack and it works! Thanks mate!
Nice! I'm glad it worked! Great job on the project!
I’m confused. You identified the light kit as having a high draw. You changed the source of power for the light kit. How did that change the amount of draw the light kit used? Did you move it from a hot circuit to a switched circuit?
Yes. Exactly. That way it isn't connected to the battery when the bike is off. The light kit only has power while the bike's ignition is on. Hope that clears things up!
@@TheMotorcycleBoss It did! Thanks! Ride safe.
Great video. learned everything I think I needed. Appreciate you brother.
Glad it was helpful. It was a pain to shoot buy I'm glad it can help so many people. Your comment is appreciated. Ride safe!
Great video. Used it with my manual to replace oil and seals on a 2020 GSX-R750 with the Showa 41mm BPF. Thanks!
Glad it helped! Thanks for taking the time to comment! Much appreciated.
An excellent demonstration video... thanks!
Thanks a lot! I was trying to make it as clear as possible. Glad I did. Your comment is much appreciated!
Thanks a millio! A very good in informative video 👍👍👍👍
Thanks! I hope it will be helpful to you! Ride safe!
sadly, it didnt work for mine.
It means you still have air trapped in your lines or caliper. Worst case is your master cylinder seal is allowing brake fluid to bypass. But most likely you just still have too much air you need to get out
How come you don't have any new videos?
Been busy working on a different project. But I will be pushing more videos out within the next few months as I will be resurrecting my cruiser. I hope to hear from you again once those videos drop. My new project has been houseofwolvesacademy.com of you want to go check it out. Still in progress right now
@@TheMotorcycleBoss I could definitely see why this channel took a pause, that project has great potential. Drop a short quick tip type video periodically, when life permits.
It actually works! Thanks mate!
No problem. Glad to hear it worked out! Ride safe!
Great stuff thanks
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks a lot!
Cool tip. How do you keep the rear brake compressed over night?
Nevermind. I wedged a rag between the lever and bracket. I'll check back in a couple days to see if this works lol.
Stacking something heavy on it is what I do. But you could also ratchetstrap it to the floor somehow.
@@TheMotorcycleBoss Thanks, Boss. I really hope this works. Don't know why my rear brakes are spongy. New pads, lines, res, fluid, zerk...new everything.
@@joruckus Typically when you replace everything, you will still have trapped air in a lower spot in the calipers. That would bean that you have to unmount the caliper(s) and twist and turn them while you bleed to force any air bubbles to the highest point of the caliper which should be the bleed valve. This also happens in brake lines if there is a high spot in the line. Air will stay lodged up there until you raise the caliper higher than the line. A lot of extra work but it's common for rear brakes unfortunately. If the trick in the video doesn't help you, try what I suggested then do the ratchetstrap thing after you got a firm pressure. Hope this helps! Thanks for the comment!
@@TheMotorcycleBoss brotha, it worked! It's like a brand new bike! Thanks, again!
This is genius!
Thanks! Just be sure to only use this trick if you are confident that it was tightened properly before you removed the bolt. Also, friction can increase over time due to grime and corrosion so use your best judgement on when you think you should stop. Ride safe! I look forward to hearing from you in future videos!
Ön lastik ABS kablosumuydu
Hayır. Kablo, çekiş kontrolü için tasarlanmıştır.
@@TheMotorcycleBoss km kablosu neresinde oluyor
@@kartal7846 Motosikletim ABS versiyonu değil. Bu yüzden o kablo yok. Servis el kitabınıza danışmak size bu cevabı verecektir.
Can we do this to the rear brakes as well ?
Yes. You can. Although I've had mixed results due to the fact that the rear brake lines have a hump to account for the swingarm movement. The hump is sometimes higher than the master cylinder and any air bubbles that accumulate using this trick will always float to the highest point in the system. So, if you can keep the master cylinder at the highest part of the system and apply pressure to the lines overnight, that is probably the best way to get similar results to the front brake. Ride safe!
Great video! You give some cool tips.
Thanks! I'm glad I was able to help you! Ride safe!
Thank you for this video
So nice of you. No problem. I hope it helps!
Took a 98 Honda CBR 600F3 to a shop and told me was a bent front fork. Rebuilt one and the preload adjuster doesn’t match the left side and the oil is set too high in both. Still have a squeak resembles a clown nose honking. . 😮😅😊
Dang! That sucks. What's your next move from here?
Sorry to hear that. Glad you found the issue though. These shops are ridiculous sometimes.
İ will try this on my suzuki hayabusa the front brake’s are squiking like hell
Any luck with using the trick?
Awesome video very helpful. Got the forks re installed now it’s twisted. How can I fix that?
You should be able to twist it to the correct position no problem
You have a link in the comments for everything but the switch itself..
It became unavailable on Amazon. You can search the Kawasaki part #: 27010-0717. Good luck with your search!
Left and right forks are have a differnt amount of oil.
If they do, it's because one was leaking. They are supposed to have the same amount unless you have the BF forks.
@@TheMotorcycleBoss right one:Approx. 460 mL (15.6 US oz.) (when changing oil) 538 ±2.5 mL (18.2 ±0.085 US oz.) (after disassembly and completely dry) , and left one: Approx. 480 mL (16.2 US oz.) (when changing oil) 566 ±2.5 mL (19.1 ±0.085 US oz.) (after disassembly and completely dry)

I triple checked my reference video from Dave Moss as well as the service manual for the bike. They both are showing me the same thing. Levels are the same on both forks. Service manual pg. 13-6 & 13-15 both say nothing about different levels. What are you referencing?
I can’t begin to tell you how many videos I went through to find yours, which actually shows how to do this. Much appreciated. I subscribed.
I had the same issue. That's why I made the video. I'm glad you found it helpful. Hope to hear from you in the future!
So how did you like the new star? And where did you order it from? Who's the maker of it?
It's made by a company called Factory Pro. It made a noticeable difference immediately. I literally just got home from riding having it installed years later. Hard shifts have been reduced by around 80%! They still happen but when they do, they aren't as bad. Would 100% recommend this mod
