Product Information
Full details
The Bike It Brake Bleeding Assistor Kit is designed for motorcycle enthusiasts and DIY mechanics who want to streamline their routine brake maintenance. By utilizing a high-quality one-way valve system, it prevents air from re-entering the brake lines, allowing for a single-person bleeding process that is both faster and cleaner. While it significantly simplifies the task, users must still ensure they have sufficient fresh brake fluid on hand and be comfortable with the basics of motorcycle hydraulic systems to achieve a firm lever feel.

FAQs
Can I use this on ABS-equipped motorcycles?
While it works for basic fluid changes, complex ABS systems may require specific diagnostic tools or factory procedures to bleed the ABS modulator properly.
Does this kit include a container for old fluid?
No, it is recommended to use a standard bottle or reservoir to catch the waste fluid at the end of the hose.
How do I know when the brake system is fully bled?
You will know the system is bled when you see clear fluid without air bubbles moving through the tubing and the brake lever provides firm resistance.
Can I reuse the brake fluid that is collected?
No, you should always discard used brake fluid responsibly and only use fresh, sealed fluid from a bottle when bleeding your brakes.
Does this kit work for hydraulic clutches?
Yes, if your motorcycle utilizes a hydraulic clutch system, this kit can often be used in a similar fashion to bleed the clutch slave cylinder.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles continue to appear in the tube indefinitely
Check the connection at the bleed nipple for air leaks; apply a small amount of grease around the nipple threads to create a better seal.
Fluid is not moving through the hose
Ensure the one-way valve is oriented in the correct direction and check that the bleed nipple is opened sufficiently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the kit, securely press the connector hose onto the brake bleed nipple. It is recommended to use a small cable tie or clamp if the nipple connection feels loose to ensure an airtight seal. Compatibility is generally high for standard screw-type bleed nipples found on most Japanese and European motorcycles. For care, always flush the hose with clean brake fluid or a compatible cleaning solution after use. Store the kit away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to prevent the tubing from drying out or becoming punctured, ensuring the valve remains clear of debris for future operations.
