Emission is right…you could have damaged the seal in you MC when you bled the system. I highly recommend you get a Motive Bleeder, especially if you are going to be doing DE’s. You will need to bleed you brake system almost every DE…sometimes at the track! When the hot brakes cool after a session, your brakes will feel spongy until things heat up again or your pads are extended…you can bleed them if you’d like, but mine usually come back to firm after a few jabs in the pit lane. I still bleed before every DE.
It may be cutting it close for you to do it yourself, but it’s not a terrible job. I think it took me about 3 hours on my back with no prior experience! An experienced wrench with the right tools and a lift…could probably do it all in two hours or less, me thinks!
Get the MC on order and it’ll be there when you get home from your trip. Install it and go! You will feel much better to have a fresh braking system. Hardest part was getting the dang clear line’s rubber grommet into the hole in the sheet metal after I pulled it out to get more flex in things.
If you must pump the MC to bleed, try not to go all the way down…just get a Motive bleeder! I got mine for less than 40 bucks!
