Hey guys i changed the brake fluid in my bike a few weeks a go and now i have had to bleed the brakes like 5 times because the brakes keep going spongy. I don't know what else to try to make the brakes feel like they use to before i changed the fluid out. I used gafer brake fluid and it's dot 4 which should be fine for the bike any idea are greatly apprecaited. need to figure this out so i can ride and not worry about not having brakes.

 

Still have air in the lines. If there is a junction/splitter at the base of the headstock, that's probably where the bubble is. It's not the fluid. Keep bleeding until the lever becomes very firm. Might try Wal Mart or an auto parts store for a MightyVac or other bleeder pump. Pretty inexpensive.

 

^ +1. Bleed the MC first, the right caliper then the left caliper. Tap on the lines to help remove any trapped air. See section 12-19 in your 05-06 factory service manual. A hose and a container works well for the price. I do like the might vac too. Enjoy and safe riding.

 

thanks guys for the response i'll keep trying to bleed them i have a mighty vac i'll give that another shot here to see if i can firm up the breaks even more.
