Here's a real great way to bleed your brakes posted by TQuentin1

On the front brakes, I like putting the fluid in from the caliper bleeders. I have an '03 UC with twins on the front. Here is what I do:
- Open the reservoir and make sure it is full (refer to manual for correct fluid).
- Put a clear plastic tubing on each of the bleeder valves and submerge in a clear bottle with break fluid over the ends of the tubing.
- Make sure your bottle is well below the bleeder valves (like on the ground).
- Open up each bleeder one at a time and allow the fluid to gravity feed until the tubing is full.
- Watch for air bubbles coming out of the bleeder valve.
- Keep the reservoir full as the fluid gravity drains until the new fluid has completely replaced the old stuff in both sides tubing.
- Open both bleeders and drain reservoir until ALMOST empty, but leave fluid just above port in bottom.
- Close both bleeders.
- Get a large syringe full of brake fluid and carefully plug the end of the tubing on it - BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET ANY AIR IN THE TUBING.
- Open that bleeder and "inject" fluid until the reservoir is just under half full.
- Close the bleeder and repeat on the other side.
- Make sure both bleeder valves are snug, remove the tubing and put on the dust caps.
- Top off the reservoir and put the top back on it.
