2012 RS brake problem

[Warlock]

Were you using vacuum or just free drain?

I used free drain when I was using the long piece of clear tubing. I just put enough brake fluid in the hose so when I pumped the brake no air was sucked back up. The tube will fill up as you pump the brakes. Keep the resv full while pumping it. I like to use the long tubing so I don't have to open and close the bleeder valve. Have thought about ordering some speed bleeder and just put enough tube on it the reach a bucket. Don;t know if they made a speed bleeder for the VSS.

Well guys I got the bike back today. They fixed the problems being rear ended caused. Everything in the back new. $1600.
I had ask them to adjust the parking brake and the long stroke on the regular brake pedal.
Well guess what? The parking brake works perfect. The long stroke on the regular brakes is gone. I lifted the left front wheel. The one they wanted so much to replace the hanging caliper. Pads not dragging at all. Spin the wheel and the brakes stop it like it should.
I don't know what a hanging caliper does if the brake does this.
I think I will charge this up to an attempt dealer ripoff.
And they didn't even charge me for the adjustment. Said they would add it to the other repair which didn't change from the estimate.
Thanks again. i learned a lot for future use
