Honda - M/Cyl, Sub-Assembly, Fr. - 45510-HN2-006

Bike (Honda Rubicon) had some years of use, then suffered some years of abuse, and then some years of total neglect. Working now to restore to usable condition. The front brakes stopped working mainly from overuse when using the bike to pull a trailer too heavy for it. Then neglect took over and having to replace master cylinder, recharging the system with brake oil has proven to be a good challenge.
I have removed all the brake lines, blown through them with compressed air, and reinstalled with new oil bolts. I think I just have to be patient when recharging with oil. Fill the reservoir, pump a few times, watch for air bubbles when they stop, open bleed at bottom pump a few times, close bleed pump a few times, then go do something else for a while while the air slowly bubbles to the reservoir. Keep repeating until air is gone and good flow of oil from the bleed.
