    Bleeding motorcycle brakes sucks

    Got my new mounted tire today and decided to put the new piston and seals in the caliper that was leaking. Get everything back together and start bleeding the brakes and they are still spongy, gonna work on it more tomorrow. I even did it according to the manual Left anti dive, left cal, right anti dive ,rt caliper.

    I found cracking the banjo to the m/c in addition to bleeding the calipers does the trick. You'll be surprised how much air gets trapped there.

    Do you sort of treat it like a bleeder then? Hold the lever, crack it open, retighten , then release lever?
