I have to bleed my back brake on my sherco 125 2007 I kind of know what to do and my dad does to but any hints and tips would be great thanks

Pictures say more than words:

To prevent the minor leak (@ 4:53 in the film) I put some teflon tape on the treads of the bleederscrew.

Changed my rear master cylinder earlier this year & found the easiest/only way to get all the air bled out was to remove the reservoir & fit a syringe in place of it to force the fluid through the system with the bleed nipple open.

The syringe we used was an old loctite master gasket tube which doesn't seem to get affected by the brake fluid unlike a proper syringe from a vets which the body seems to swell away from the rubber seal inside

What helps when bleeding the rear brake is to stand the bike up (front wheel up) as this will help the air bubbles move toward the master cyl.while you are pushing the fluid (using a syringe like in the video) from the caliper to the master cyl. (air bubbles naturally rise)
