    brakes

    I have a gs850 1982. Bled the back brake and things went great.
    Started to bleed the front and when I pulled on the lever (to pump brakes)brake fluid actually squirted up and out of the reservoir. There was still fluid in the reservoir, so I topped it off and put back the lid to rethink this.

    They do that, when the piston first starts to move. Usually the lid is on or the fluid in the reservoir is too deep, so it's not a problem.

    Go easy on the lever at first.

      Thanx, I will move on. Can't believe how fast the answers come. Did I buy the right bike or what.

        Yep, you got the right bike. Of course, I'm a little biased....

          Not only did you get the right bike, you also found the right place to get help.
