Ok guys... Help me out here. I know when we had to bleed brakes on the old fruit jar single type plungers we went to the farthest point to start with. Now we have a split system. What I mean is why do we still go to the farthest brake and start the bleed there? I have a pressure bleeder system I made up myself and I'm going to use it tomorrow. It was a very simple setup. I got another master cylinder cap and installed a steel tire valve stem in it. Now I just screw it on top of my m-c and keep the pressure around 8 to 10 lbs on my tank with the fluid should do the job. I know the plastic resivour probably could take more pressure but why push a good thing. Again, why do we need to bleed the brakes like we do? Why can't we just do the fronts and the rears in any pattern...

habit... You are correct with a double piston set up the two are separate from each other - the only common thing is the reserviour
