1. You are an excellent teacher! I've been around mechanics a long time and I can say your a top notch instructor/teacher. A student would have to be totally non-mechanically inclined not to understand what you've presented in your video. Keep up the good work.

2. Very helpful amigo, gonna put on stainless steel hoses cause I accidently filled dot5 synthetic crap into my gsxr 1000 when it suppose to use dot 4, and I bleed it prior to that, but now people say u can't fully bleed out those rubber hoses of silicone crap, instead get new lines and rebuild or get new cylinders. So i'ma just rebuild even though they don't leak.

4. i put a chinese bullshit front master cylinder on my xj600 and its spongey as fuck. there's no adjustment and i bled the brakes for a long time to see if i could get rid of the mushy feel but it didnt work. the brakes grab but only when the lever is almost to the throttle grip. any advice?

6. great video but I'm lost lol I have 1988 intruder vs750 and its my nephews he asked me to fix it for him so I got it running but when I put it in gear it lunge's forward and shuts off, I check the clutch cylinder and everything looks like it works I get a push at the clutch housing at the bottom but I do notice that the clutch handle I don't really feel any resistance so am I missing something or is there something else I should be looking at? Any help would be appreciated thx

13. Shane, you are one hell of a teacher, very clear, very concise. I just bought an 85 Kawasaki LTD 454 EN450 that I plan on restoring. I will be taking advantage of your assistance/mentoring membership program.

    I didn't think bench bleeding a master cylinder was such a secret, I've always bench bleed any master cylinder before installing it in a car. They have one man operated back bleeders for autos, will they work on a bike?

14. Thank you so much!! I finally got my front breaks primed! It was to things, the seal inside wasn't in right and one of the holes inside Reservoir was closed, so I drilled it open with tiny drill bit. Thank you for breaking it down like that

15. Hello again Shane.
    Thanks for a great video on testing the master.
    I’m having an issues rebuilding the VFR’s front brake master cyl… I’m going to do the bench pressure test tomorrow. Sure is a let down when everything else was going together well.

    I really do think that the air hole is blocked, and it needs to be cleaned out or drilled out. Not sure what to poke it with for now.

19. Just came across your videos when I was rebuilding my master cylinder. When I finished I covered the outlet and pressurised it by pumping air which it seemed to compress ok (quick puff if air when I removed my finger). Surely that's enough to prove it will build pressure? Or must it be tested with fluid?
