love these shows, learning so much and appreciate you doing these
Love this channel, great stuff, keep it coming
Would be cool if you could explain how the quick release brake lines work in a future video. My brain can't help but be suspicious they are introducing a tiny bit of air when reconnecting, even though they apparently do not.

Love these videos Dave. The excitement is building for the new season. I honestly thought you were going to say one of the reasons Franco wasn't bedding in the brakes was because he has his manservant do it for him. 😂

It's a tough life Dave I pity you riding a an awesome Blade just to bed the brakes in! Top teamwork fella! 👍
Thank you Dave for another great episode. It’s interesting how different parts are nowadays and how it seems every year something changes. Hope all is well and the weather is getting better. Don’t have too much fun bedding in those brake pads you don’t need to be like Toprack lol. Cheers from California!

Hey Dave did y’all go with a Suter swingarm,Kalex, or another brand?

Suter... It came with the bike so we're going to run it as changing is very expensive 😳

Hi there,I was wondering if you can help.My 2008 gixxer 1000 is leaking oil from the bleeder valve on both sides of the caliper after a brake line upgrade and fluid flush.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
@obsession_engineering

It's common to get a little fluid trapped in the thread, which seeps out after you've finished. But if it keeps leaking, then the nipple isn't sealing on the taper at the bottom. You'd have to remove the bleed nipples and check the sealing face is OK. Don't use ptfe tape to seal it though, it should seal on the taper
