I hope your 'bleeding kit' works better than the one I got recently. I have always used a Motive Power bleeder on my German vehicles with great results. It won't fit on my motorcycle's brake fluid reservioirs, however...and the MC I was brake bleeding on has a complex linked brake system, front and rear wheels interconnected. So I got a vacuum bleeder to make the job easier...but it sucks air at the bleed valves always. I've tried everything, but I always get a stream of bubbles out of the brake bleeder valve/hose junction..Maybe I just haven't tried the proper hose or something...I had to use the manual method anyway..
