Well as soon as the vent screw was coming off, I was losing brake fluid and it drained the reservoir



Can't help but wonder- did you have the reservoir lid off when you opened the bleeder ?



Wade, no, the cover was on. I've never even removed it since I got the bike.

I supposed, if I had another person helping me, they could have been topping off the front reservoir while I swapped in the Speed Bleeder. It would have been messy, but it would have stopped the air bubbles.

But like I said, it's all back to normal now. Interesting experience though.

I'll look for the US$35 vacuum pump at AutoZone Mike, thanks ! Given the lower height of the reservoir for the rear brake and the fact that I could install/replace the Speed Bleeder with little or no fluid leakage, I don't think the gravity drain method will work on the rear line, and I'm not keen on going through the whole air in the line ordeal again.
