To follow up on my earlier post, bleed the calipers first and then the master cylinder last.

As Felix says, for race use, you can (and most race bikes do) use a single line from the master cylinder which then "T"s into 2 lines which go to the calipers. The only stipulation is that the lines from the calipers must run round the front of the fork legs and the "T" must be above the bottom of the lower triple.

For all you people that will no doubt try to tell me I'm wrong and that it must be 2 seperate lines - check your FIM tech rulebook!

Cheers,

Neil.

P.S. Don't use anything other than DOT4 fluid!!!! Brembo are very specific about fluid and DOT5 etc is not compatable with Brembo components!!!!
