Having to take off my breaded hoses and refit them as the previos owner put the wrong ones on, is there a specifict bleeding sequence or just blead one caliper at a time??

I have a K3 naked

One at a time is the way!!!! You may find it takes ages for the fluid to come through!!! I had this prob with mine so I bought a speed bleader kit from HG no effort at all and well worth the £30 I paid for it!!!

Leigh, I would have said that you could take the hoses off at the resevioir end thus minimising the amount of fluid that you would have lost and hence saving a short amout of time bleeding them again. However, knowing what it is that you have to do, your a bit stuffed.

One calliper at a time. Do one, then do the other, then do them again. Rear is the same as it has two bleed nipples.

Hmmmm or does it

Not sure on a pointy...

How's the schock

Its a vacuum pump you attach it to your bleed nipple pump the bleeder and open your bleed nipple it draws the fluid through close the nipple and goto the other calliper and do the same repeat the process until no air comes through!!!! Oh and check the fluid in the reservoir and keep it topped up!!!! so quick and easy
