[QUOTE="td center, post: 842865, member: 53605"] Well actually, all that I have left is to bleed the brakes, front and rear(rear especially so I can put the subframe back on). I read this on another forum and was wondering what you thought about bleeding your brakes this way...I have never had to do them before: [I] "If your having trouble bleeding your front or rear brakes hears an easy way to do it. Get a 20oz coke bottle or something with a lid on it and get some rubber tubing. Drill a hole in the top of the cap and push the tubing threw the hole, it should be kinda tight. Next drill a smaller hole next to the other for a breather hole. Now put about 1/4 of the botle full of old brake fluid and put the tube down into the fluid. Now when you belld your brakes place the tube end sticking out of the bottle onto the fitting of the brake bleed nipple. Now fill the resevoir full of good fluid and begin to pump the brakes slowly. the bottle with the fluid should be blowing bubls if you are getting air out. The bottle makes it where you dont have to keep opening and closing the bleeder screw everytime you let the brake lever up. When the fluid in the bottle quits blowing bubbles and the fluid just rises up everytime you pull the lever, tighten the bleed screw and check your brakes, they should be hard and all the air out. Walaa your done..."[/I] I have a few questions about this...do you think this is the best way or have any tips to do it another way? Also if I do go this route, shouldn't I start by placing NEW brake fluid into the coke bottle? Do you know what size hose fits on the brake's nipple? Last question is: I got a FMF Fatty (Nickel plated) off of **** which is [i]supposedly[/i] new, but I did not know it sat around in the guys (garage) for 4 years I guess? and has some surface rust. _I tried WD-40 on it, but if I am going to sell it eventually I want it to shine like new if possible...any ideas on how to do this? Thanks in advance! :) [B]Shaw520[/B] that's pretty cool that you are that hardcore into racing. I am still new to motocross/bikes in general but maybe one day I'll race against ya' ;) You mentioned Englishtown, and I have heard they have a great practice track which I will eventually get to try out. I am also planning on taking lessons there. If you know of anywhere else to get some really goold training, let me know. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
