How do you clean a bleeder valve on a Yamaha Venture?
Remove the rubber caps from the bleeder valves and clean the valves. Note, while these procedures describe bleeding the front brakes, they also apply to the rear brake. Place a clear plastic tube over the bleeder valve on the left caliper (farthest from reservoir) and place the other end into a jar.
What to do when fluid runs out on a Yamaha Venturer?
Open the bleeder valve and allow 50% or more of the fluid in the reservoir to drain. Close the bleeder valve (while fluid is still coming out) and before the reservoir is empty. Release the lever with the reservoir cover still on. Fill the reservoir with new fluid and repeat the last 3 steps until the fluid runs out clean and clear.
What’s the vacuum pump on a Yamaha Venture?
Using a tool called Mighty-Vac makes brake bleeding simple and clean. Mighty-Vac is a small vacuum pump that pulls the brake fluid through the brake line from the bleeder valve on the caliper and collects the excess fluid in a cup built into the tool. It comes with adapters and hoses included.
Why do I have air bubbles in my bleeder valve?
Pump the Might-Vac handle a few times to build up a vacuum. Slowly open the bleeder valve and you’ll see brake fluid flow through the hose. If you see air bubbles in the fluid, this is due to leakage around the valve and any air in the system. (you can seal air leaks around the valve with grease)
How do you Bleed the front brake on a Yamaha Venture?
Note, while these procedures describe bleeding the front brakes, they also apply to the rear brake. Place a clear plastic tube over the bleeder valve on the left caliper (farthest from reservoir) and place the other end into a jar. Remove the screws that secure the master cylinder cover but leave the cover in place.
Open the bleeder valve and allow 50% or more of the fluid in the reservoir to drain. Close the bleeder valve (while fluid is still coming out) and before the reservoir is empty. Release the lever with the reservoir cover still on. Fill the reservoir with new fluid and repeat the last 3 steps until the fluid runs out clean and clear.
