Just installed some galfer lines on my 1000rr and can't get the brakes to bleed right...I have installed these on other bikes and had no problems...what's the trick that I'm missing???

Left sided 1st ...right side 1st - what's the deal?

Thanks!

Bleed it at the master cylinder.

Yes, thanks - just found out the master has to be bled before the calipers...1st time I've seen that on a bike - learn something new everyday!

That's what I love about the forums - I like to do most of the work myself and when I get stuck, it's nice to be able to post a question and have the answer in the morning.

Thanks MgA_ODEN!
