First off you need two people,you have to start with the farthest one away which is the front brake operated by the foot brake,then the left rear wheel and then the right rear wheel the front brake operated by the hand brake on the handle bar you can do by it,s self.
When bleeding brakes on any thing always start at the farthest one away from the master cyclender.

Muskie - the bleeding process will vary with which generation caliper you have.

If you will call here (800-908-7453) and ask to speak with Richard Purdy he will walk you through it step by step!

just as info do you use speedbleeders? they have a one-way check valve
so one person can bleed the brakes. i really can't see doing a brake bleeding job without them. great product . just google speedbleeder brakes.

</div>Just bought a little hand powered vacuum pump at Advance Auto about a month ago. It even has a plastic reservoir between the pump and bleeder fitting to contain the old brake fluid as it's pumped out. One person job to bleed the brakes with it and no mess. Just have to remember to keep the master cylinder topped off so you don't suck air back in the lines.. Well constructed little device for about $40.00. <img src="images/smilies/thumbup.gif" border="0" alt="" title="ThumbUp" class="inlineimg" />
