I've read all that I can find and I've got the manual. It seems that most everyone bleeds the brakes with the assistance of a vacuum tool. I've bleed brakes on a few cars in my day and always did it the old fashioned way, with someone pumping the pedal while I bleed the calipers. Is it feasible to just pump the lever and/or the rear pedal and get the bleeding on my ST1300 done that way? I'd like to get this done tomorrow and am just wondering if I really need a vacuum tool. If you guys tell me that yeah you need the tool, is there a store you can recommend that carries one? I'd rather not order one online as I'd rather not wait at this point. Thanks ahead for replies!
