You really don't want to do it this way
1) moisture - need to change the fluid
2) heat - need to change the fluid

buy a power bleeder ~$45
use good fluid

Dump the old stuff

If you change from blue to gold you can see when system is FLUSHED

Keep you ride happy!

I agree with you on 2 outta three.....

Toss the old stuff, use blue-->gold--->blue---->gold.....but not on the power bleeder.

They just seem to be a bitch to use and in my experience the power bleeders are the way to go.

So which is it, use the power bleeder or not? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

ummm... why are you using the BOTTOM bleeder...

air rises you know (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

But if someone were to use DOT 5 then the water would be on the bottom as DOT 5 is lighter than water (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Plus you want to remove all of the old fluid anyway and any potential debris.

DOT5? Silicon fluid makes for mushy feeling brakes. Stuff is more suited for storing a car than driving.

I think the recirculating fluid is great, the bubbles that I have seen are quite large, not foamy and it still has time to dissapate the bubbles in the resivour.

i'm leery of 'recyling' the brake fluid as you bleed. i know you'd just recently flushed it, but any opportunity i have to flush again (and get little bits of impurities out), i'll flush again. maybe that's senseless, though.


also, i always just bleed the top nipple -- and have never had anything other than a totally firm pedal (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) ...
