brake lines

[Diecast61]

:O you're in for a fun night. You need to start pumping new fluid in. Fill up the reservoir then pump the lever a couple of times to get fluid to start to flow into there. Then... you'll have to bleed them.

Pump pump pump, squeeze, open nipple, close nipple, release, pump pump pump, squeeze, open nipple, close nipple, release.

Do not let the reservoir empty out. Keep doing this until you get clean brake fluid through the lines and no bubbles. It's going to take a lot of worth though.

VERY PORNOGRAPHIC if you ask me!

My friend's 82 kawasaki 440 had very old brake fluid so we decided to change the fluid.
We took all we could through the bleeding nipple but it was coming out too slow so we decided to try draining it through the lines so we took apart the lines and put them back together and then not fluid would come out the nipple at all.
What can we do to finish draining the reserve and create pressure in the lines again?
Thank you in advance

Ok, so you got a clog. Start from either end and work you way through, pull it apart again if you cannot get any fluid out when you pump. Check the MC, check the line (you said you already did), and the caliper. First thoughts are you might need to break down the caliper and clean it up real good.

from my limited (note limited) experience its kinda hard to get brake fluid to clog up. However I have always used a tight fitting rubber hose shoved into a bottle with a small amount of brake fluid in it and put on the bleeder valve. then do the pump pump pump until all the air comes out but I have only done it with my vehicles never a motorcycle so I dont know if it works or not. on motorcycles.

Yeah, I doubt its the hose. Me thinks there is crap in there that is too large to squirt out the nipple.
