[QUOTE="PapaUtah, post: 1226889, member: 212"] Warpdrv, Check with Bikeeffects.com. They will have the appropriate mix of 5 bleeders for your bike. You don't need Speedbleeders, they just make the job easier. As for the process, install the new Speedbleeders in place of the old bleeders. I started with my clutch first. Connect my catch bottle to the bleeder, crack it loose 1/4 turn. Open up the clutch reservoir. I have a small syringe to empty the old fluid from the reservoir. Clean it out. Pour in new fluid and begin SLOWLY squeezing the lever. Don't go crazy our you will have fluid all over your bike. I cover my bike with rags whilst bleeding. Paint, plastic and brake fluid are enemies.You have to watch the reservoir level as you go, don't pump air into the system. Tighten the bleeder when you get new clear fluid coming thru your catch hose into your catch container. Brakes on the Gen 3 are to be done in order. Bleed the top bleeder on the right caliper first, then the bleeder on the left caliper. Those bleeders are fed from the front brake reservoir. Next is the bottom bleeder on the right caliper, then the rear brake. They are fed from the rear brake reservoir behind the right side panel below the seat. Once again, get the old fluid out of the reservoirs from the top. Don't push that dirty stuff thru if you don't have to. [/QUOTE]
