A little while ago I replaced my OEM FZ6-SA brake lines with braided ones.
The new ones are nice, but, inevitably, when doing a full replace like this on an ABS system, you can't avoid getting some air into the fluid and there was still a touch of sponginess on the front.
So a couple of days ago, I suspended the calipers from the ceiling of the shed with a nice long daisy chain of cable ties and left them there to allow the fluid to drain down and the air to bubble up.
Today I bled about half an inch of air from the system and remounted them and they're already feeling much crisper.
I've left them with a cable tie around the front brake lever and hope to get out to give them a proper check in the next few days :thumbup
