Help with bleeding brakes

I just can't get a brake peddle. I've used a speed bleeder, plus the old way.

I seem to recall reading that you must use the Budds system to bleed the brakes. It cannot be done at home. Check out the shop manual.

I remember that you can bleed the brakes but you have to keep the fluid topped off.

When my Spyder broke down, the brakes had to be bled. Dealer reckons it's a 6 yes SIX hour job.

Take it to the dealer. This is not like a motorcycle brake system.

Took the bike in at noon. I'm thinking maybe next Tuesday Wednesday.

To my surprise around 3 pm I got a call from the dealer saying the bike will be finish later this afternoon.

I hold them I would pick it up in the morning. When I got home after work. My new muffler was waiting at my door

Looks like I'm riding tomorrow night.
