Meonum 2 Pack Brake / Clutch Bleeder Kit (Amazon) - rdprdp01 - 12-21-2025 I am looking forward to completing my annual motorcycle maintenance on Christmas Eve this year. It is a present I have opted to give myself: some quality time pampering the CB1100EX! One item on the list is bleeding the brakes and clutch. This year, I plan for the first time ever to reverse bleed my brakes and clutch systems. My inspiration for this pivot came courtesy of a RevZilla Video I saw while scrolling for tools: From an engineering / design perspectives, I can see how the "bubbles" could be easier to disperse if the fluid is moving "up" to the reservoir as opposed to "down" through the bleed valve on a caliber. But as logical as that may sound,  my experience working in the energy sector has taught me that trapped air can sometimes have a mind of its own!    That is why I went looking for a kit that had a back-pressure valve to help me manage flow. I found an incredibly affordable kit on Amazon. Please see Meonum 2 Pack Brake Bleeder Kit. Pictures follow. If this experiment works, I will be delighted to reduce time and the amount of fluid I typically use. If it fails spectacularly, I can always revert to a traditional bleeding of the brake and clutch systems. I follow many motorcycle mechanics on YouTube. The Flying Lumpia is one of those. He has a vibe and tone about him that is engaging and is relatable. He is a track guy who rides every day, ocassionally as a hooligan street racer. He found a way to use the back pressure valve in a traditional brake-bleeding scenario: I am cautiously optimistic things will work because of the engineering behind the ABS system on my motorcycle. God Bless Honda for nice clean cabling that moves predominantly upward. I will include that analysis in the "How To" I will publish on Christmas Eve. If you have attempted this technique yourself, please answer the poll question and indicate your experiences. Have a great week. David RE: Meonum 2 Pack Brake / Clutch Bleeder Kit (Amazon) - pdedse - 12-21-2025 Looking forward to seeing your write-up. I've always used a Mightyvac bleeder with good enough results. Coincidentally, I bought 32oz of Dot 4 today, but I'm starting with my DR650 and then I'll do the CB1100...after I see your process!  So if you can get that posted by end of Christmas Day, much obliged. I am, of course, being facetious...the 26th would be ok, too. RE: Meonum 2 Pack Brake / Clutch Bleeder Kit (Amazon) - rdprdp01 - 12-21-2025 I will get it done Christmas Eve, boss! Count on it!! RE: Meonum 2 Pack Brake / Clutch Bleeder Kit (Amazon) - Cormanus - 12-21-2025 I'm looking forward to it too!
