- I don't think that there's anything different about bleeding ABS brakes.
- (Rightly shouldn't be, as ABS=regular brakes unless told to do otherwise by
- the computer) In general, the rear disk on K-bikes is a pain in the ass to
- bleed properly. When I do my annual brake flush, I don't even try to use my
- vacuum bleeder on the rear (it just doesn't cut it - dunno why). I just
- pump it up, bleed it out, pump it up, bleed it out, until the fresh fluid
- comes out.

- How is he trying to bleed it?
