bringing this backup.....


I had a brake line leak last week that drained all the fluid from the M/C resevoir.

Is it required to run the ABS pump to remove all the air from the manifold? (seems that way from reading here)

I repaired the line however there is still air in the system. Admittingly I did not see that there are two bleeders on the caliper. I only bled from the outer bleeder at each caliper.

re-bleed the whole system starting with the inside bleed screw then moving to the outside. If you still have air in the system after that then I would have the ABS bled as well.
