Motorcycle back brake not working? How to bleed a rear brake

'how to' video showing how to bleed your back brake.
Our KXF250 back brake feels spongey so we bleed it and change the fluid.

I learned a lot. I’m doing my back brakes on a YZ 125 changing the master cylinder and bleeding it. Your video was very very very helpful. You did it perfect.

And I did my Bandit rear brake today in about 20 mins following your guide, sorted.

Appreciate the video. I just put a new back tire on my KLX 300 today and now I don't have hardly any rear brake. Thanks to your video I can check fluid level and bleed the caliper if necessary tomorrow.

thanks for a video that shows you how to actually bleed the brakes and not a bunch of bs. keep up the good work!

Another cracking video, I like your commentary, it reenforces the points on what you should be doing. I would defenetly like to see a series on basic motorbike maintenance from you.

Thanks for the video. I’ve seen numerous descriptions of how to bleed the brakes, but this was the clearest and most concise. I’ve bled the rear brake on my 98 Bandit 600, and changed the pads, but still too much travel in the pedal. I’m going to try bleeding again, with this method, and hopefully fix the problem. Cheers!

Thanks. It might be good to discuss the differences between glycol based and petroleum and synthetic brake fluids and to make sure you're using the right one for your bike. If you use the wrong kind for your brake system it can be a real problem.

I think the best tip here is to use a ring spanner. Attempted it without one and it was awful. Back at it again tomorrow. Thanks for the video!

Awesome detail, some people don't show it as well as you. Thanks 🙏

Thanks for the vid! Just found myself leaving decker canyon in Malibu on a 13% grade going downhill and my rear break went out. Luckily the front brakes and engine braking got me through it. Definitely the heaviest my harley ever felt!

Straight to the point! Love it! Gonna do this this weekend.

Top man yours was the clearest video I could find cheers

Tqvm. I was very hesitant to try. But You made it look soo easy.. I thought, what the heck, I'll give it a go. Fixed my zrx1200. Saved me a pretty penny. :)

Really helpful an explains how to and tips not like most videos that just do it without explaining how 👌 thanks mate keep it up

[justinschembri]

Love your work mate, I just watched a video on how to do this with Transworld motorbikes and it didn’t work following the steps as they did not go into detail. As soon as I started watching your video mate I’ve got it working straight away. Keep it up.

Just came home from a ride with no back brakes. Thanks for the video. Purging the caliper got all the air out. Wish I knew how it all got in there. Maybe it was a gradual thing over time. Cheers mate.

[markgoldsmith]

[solidpnoy]

Thank you. Very informative. My rear brake is not budging at all. Guess it’s time to follow your instructions.
