what's going on guys dave here with the honda elite 110 nhx110 scooter doing a brake bleed
on it the brake fluid was pretty hideous and i think original on it there so we're gonna do
a quick bleed and uh everyone has different methods they like to use i'm gonna show you
my method which is so freaking easy all you need is one little device called the liquifac
i'll put a link down below where you can get it uh you know you get it at most
hardware stores and northern tool and harbor freight and online all that but this is a
little vacuum device it makes bleeding breaks and withdrawing fluids of any kind so freaking simple
so uh yeah we'll just put the hose on the little bleeder valve right there
you may have to you know adapt some smaller hose to the one that comes on it
but uh that's pretty easy to do and it's a dot three that you'll use as far as the fluid
i actually use the liquid vac to withdraw the old fluid from the reservoir
so it just saves time and it prevents you know the contaminated stuff from having to be sucked
all the way through and then we'll go in a filler up here and you know be ready because when you use
the liquefact system it withdraws the fluid pretty quickly down below so you may want to use a helper
you know make sure you got it ready because you don't want to suck air through the line just
be ready have someone ready to to add the fluid to the reservoir all right and with this device
after you connect it to the bleeder valve there just start a little suction
then crack it open and quickly go up top and start filling
because it see it's withdrawing fluid pretty swiftly through the hose there
and you know just start looking for it look for it to be more clear coming through the bottom that'll
show you that the contaminated crappy fluid has been evacuated from the system shouldn't take
long because this is a very short fork lag and brake line is very short and after it's come down
after it's come down you know right to the top of the little viewing window right there
but you got to give it room to put the cap back on it once it's where you want it
shut it back down and then the final step
the final step to make sure that there's no air in the line and that it's got a good purge and
you want the lever to feel nice and firm also
because you still got a little bit of vacuum going on through there hold the lever in
crack it open let it release you know let it press in the liver then open it back up and it
should feel nice and firm coming coming through the lever and that is honestly all there is to it
i mean i know so many people that struggle with doing a good brake bleed because they can't get a
good firm lever anymore and they're just wondering why that's usually because you've got some air in
the line and it takes a vacuuming to really get it out easily look how clean it looks like it's
empty but it's full of fluid clean as can be now one of the best things you can do to any vehicle
i don't care what kind of car truck atv dirt bike whatever if it's got hydraulic brakes bleed the
brakes every few years you know every couple of years depending on how often it's ridden and if it
looks really filthy in there that that's that'll tell you that it needs doing if you bleed your
brakes man they will feel so good again another device that's handy is a brake fluid tester
i'll put a link down below where you can get one of these two very handy you just put
those two probes into your brake fluid in the vehicle and it will tell you how contaminated
the fluid is so very handy device and you can bet if the front needs doing then the rear brakes need
doing as well so might as well do that too we'll do that later process is identical but that device
right there does the trick you can do it any way you want and i've done it every way there is in
the world and sure there are plenty of good ways and bad ways to do it but if you use a vacuum like
this man it's just so freaking quick and simple you don't dread doing it you're just going well
i'll just knock this out in about two minutes you know it's no no big deal at all so that's it check
