That’s great, thanks!

Very well to the point and easy to understand now i don’t have to pay some guy almost like 120$ for him to just do that in like 30min

That’s actually about the same as mine. It was 8 years and 26000km.

Great video! Planning to do this soon and have a few questions - any particular reason you chose DOT 3 vs DOT 4? Also, what size brake fluid container did you use? Bottle looks smallish, like the 12 ounce size. If so, was one bottle enough?

The main reason I went with DOT 3 vs 4 is because I had an unopened bottle sitting on my shelf already. There’s not much of a difference between the two. DOT 3 has a lower boiling point, but less susceptible to water absorption. I don’t think either of those are issues with the CRF250L. I’ve never had my brakes come even close to overheating and it’s a sealed system. The bottle I used was 12oz and I still had a little left over after I was done.

Isn’t it a good idea to change the pads as well, if you are topping the fluid right up to the top of the sight glass?

If your pads are worn and your fluid was low before starting, that would definitely be a good idea.

I am having trouble getting pressure back into my breaks. I accidently let some air in and I have pumped fluid through quite a bit. I thought I got all the air bubbles out but the pressure is still little to none. is their anything I would be missing that would be letting air back into the breaks.

Maybe somehow there’s an air bubble trapped in the master cylinder or the caliper. With a hydraulic brake system, you’d have to have a major leak of fluid out (to the point the reservoir would be empty again) before you’d have any more air enter the system. Is it the front or rear brake?

The only thing I can suggest is to try reverse bleeding the brake line. Here’s an example of how to do that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lnlqwbyehbaWdaw.html
