    as title says, One of my brake lines leaked all the brake fluid from the front and I don't know how to fill it.
    I cant take it to a shop due to money problems, but I do have a MityVac MV8000 :D
    Does anyone know how can I fill my front brake lines from Zero to Ending?
    Please any Idea will do!

    racer x if your brake line leaked all the fluid it will still leak when you refill it ...

    you need to replace the line first

    then remove the top of the master cylinder , fill the cylinder, bleed the line .

    front brakes are pretty important so you really need to do this correctly

    I already replaced the brake lines, all I need to do is fill them up from zero. Problem is that I am not sure if there is a procedure to do this with dual calipers

    Simplest way of bleeding brakes manually. Mity-Vac is probably ... The easiest way to bleed motorcycle ...

    have a look at the video
    but
    try to get somebody who knows a bit to check your work before you go tearing off into the sunset...

    dont take offense at the idiot title its just the name of the site
    but the explanation there seems reasonable

    sometimes you need to remove the calipers and hold them above the master cylinder because air likes to go up not down

    if you do this put a piece of wood or something between the pads so they have something to clamp onto in lieu of the disc
