front brake bleeding WTF?

get some of the clear airline from your local pet store (for fish tanks) push it over the top of the bleeder screw and then get a cup..

put just a touch of brake fluid in the cup (to cover the end of the hose)

open the bleeder about 1/2 turn

IF bubbles do not appear right away, give the lever a single 1/2 pump and release(repeatedly pumping can really aerate DOT4 fluid and REALLY aerate DOT5 and make a mess of life, try to avoid this)

You should see a few bubbles flowing from the hose and then liquid.. (this should run by itself unless you allow the master to run out)

Allow to run until the fluid appears clear (maybe 6 to 9 ounces?)

Repeat on opposite caliper.. should require less fluid as the master and lines are already flushed..
 
Ok, I can not explain it... Gravity must be my friend. It did drain... But WTF.. I have used my mighty vac for about 10 years. It just make no sense to me. Any explain this? I cant suck it out, but will drain on it's own...I never had this happen on my 03 busa or My gsxr.. Any way thanks for the help!!
