Or you use what I used to use for bleeding my clutch (before I found
an Eezi-Bleed on sale). An old 10-speed inner tube, cut about a foot
from the valve stem. Use a hose-clamp to attach it to the top of the
MC (after removing the cap), pour some Castrol LMA in from the open
end, roll the open end and clamp it with a vice-grip, then use a piece
of coat-hanger to suspend it from the bonnet. Pump enough air into the
valve stem to give it the resemblance of a well-fed python, then
wander over to the bleed valves and work your way from the furthest to
the nearest and you can flush the system and bleed it at one go
(assuming you put in enough LMA). When you are done, release the
excess pressure via the valve stem, drain off the excess LMA, and stow
it until you need it again.
