Hi Yes you push the piston on I use a piece of wooden dwell but you can use a screwdriver. Same technique open nipple push in close nipple. I also place a peace of wood 12mm wide in between the pads to stop the pots coming out to far.

Hi I can tell you the caliper needs to be at the lowest point i know it seems strange but it works. Normally I would bleed then hold the lever in over night allowing air to travel up. Working on bikes can be both rewarding and frustrating at the same time

Hi I had the same problem. The pipe goes up then down on the bike and its hard to remove all the air It is easier to remove all the brake system and bleed on your bench hold the piston higher than the caliper. Once bleed refit.

Hi Had one as my first bike, people told me to powerful for a novice but it all depends upon how much you twist the throttle. it depends on where you are going to ride as it can pull your arms out. As with old bikes some parts are getting hard to find. It seems to be a little pricey.

Hi Just bleed mine it takes time and you need to be patient. Good luck
