Mike, he still needs to bleed the system in the CORRECT order, no matter what that order, if he wants safe brakes, I posted the 5t order so he could see that there IS a CORRECT order for brake bleeding.

Ron - I posted that in a hurry as I was running out the door and should have articulated better. Our message is the same. By all means, one should bleed their break system in the correct order. However, it appears that the correct order on a 5t is different than the correct order on the Deuce.

Warthog did an excellent description in another thread, and in my hurry, I just posted a link to that thread. Here is the correct order for bleeding the break system on a Deuce.

This is the order for bleeding a single M/C Deuce

There is actually a correct oil to use in the air-pacs. It is very expensive so I just use silicone synthetic grease. I will eventually buy the correct oil but at $50.00 a quart it will be a while.

Some longer air style air packs have a small square plug on the rear cover, I think its 5/16"? remove that and squirt the oil in there.

Others you have to remove the air pipe going into rear of the air pack to add the oil, for that use a 3/4 inch line wrench.
