It worked really well but it sort of shattered after I used it not sure if it was from the brake cleaner, brake fluid, or just the force exserted on the plastic. Should work well for you.

How did you use it? Just fill the reservoir up and then pull fluid from the bleeder until the air bubbles stopped. How long did it take you to do front and back?

Leave the reservoir relatively empty , fill the meat injector with brake fluid and attach it to the bleeder via the 1/4" hose. I used zip ties to secure the hose to the end of bleeder because you will force fluid from the bleeder upto the cylinder. Once you push fluid to the bleeder and and open it you can watch as it fills the resevoir. Took me maybe 15 minutes to do both sides several times.

You can use the meat injector to draw fluid out as well If you like.

And they sell brake fluid specific reverse bleeders for $15 on ebay shipped. The come with different hose ends, and everything is brake fluid resistant.

It's definitely the way to bleed brakes though. It's insane how much easier it is to push fluid backwards/upwards towards the master.

I used it to draw the fluid from the master and then did everything else by hand. She has tons of grip and a nice solid lever.

That works! Looks like you'll beat me for sure I'm still waiting on my tank to come back from the painter.

Anyone have a bad power commander before?

Can't say that I have.


But it's really easy to test. Delete it and see if it fixes the issue. Also make sure that the connections (the ground) are good on it.

Why do you ask, what do you suspect is wrong?

I've tried several different maps on it and it hesitates regardless of the map. I deleted it and it runs much better very confusing.
Meh I'll just leave it the way it is and let it be someone elses problem. If that the worst thing on the this bike im ahead.

Try zero map. It should work as stock. If it doesn't there is something wrong with the commander or connections. If the zero map works the maps you tried are just of.

I will give it a whirl tonight and see how it runs. Not super worried about it ill just explain it to the next buyer if need be.

My wife literally just picked up the tank from the shop and sent me a pic. Thought i would share.
