Bleeding Brakes on an 03 Daytona 955i

Hey there,
This thread may have been posted before by someone else needing the knowledge so please forgive the repost if there is.
I have a 2003 Daytona 955i that I just changed the brakes on and have one question about bleeding the front brakes, do you bleed both sides at the same time or one after another, also anyone got any tips to make life easier?

Thanks

I use a hand-operated vacuum pump, one at a time.

Yeah, when I replaced the master cylinder, the directions said to bleed 1 at a time, starting with the right side where it is farther from where the main line come from.

Also dont forget to adjust the lever to 1 or it wont go as well as it should. Helps to have a helper do the lever whilst you work the nipples,,,( hahah,,sounded good there,,lol)

Do yourself a favour and swap out the stock bleed nipples out for SpeedBleeders. It make the job so easy and is a one person job.

I have them on all my bikes.
