get a vacuum bleeder and reverse bleed them. That's the easiest and most effective. Other than that you just need to make sure your master cylinder is full of fluid, put the lid on, pump them up, hold the lever, and then undo the bleeder screw and tighten it back before you let your hand off of the lever. Repeat until all the air comes out and the lever feels firm. Good luck

What he said go to the auto parts store and buy a vacuum pump. Open the bleeder and hook the vacuum pump up to the bleeder screw and pump. Make sure someone else is watching the master cylinder, keeping it full. It will bleed the brakes and replace the old fluid with new at the same time. I do everything I own every year. My quad, street bike and truck. It's helps the brake system last longer.

just get yourself a 3 foot piece of fish tank hose. put one end on the nipple and the other end in a clear glass jar. put about 1 inch of brake fluid in the jar, so the hose does not suck air into it. open the nipple nut and pump fluid into the jar. Once the bubbles quit coming out, close the nut and your done.

Wilburz, Good suggestion, I never thought about doing it that way. I also start at the rear first then do the right front then the left front.

Nothing will bleed them as good as a vacuum pump. Plus it will take a few minutes a caliper and you get to buy a tool. WHOOOO HOOOO!!
