Ok so I just got the pistons unstuck and bled the v-twin brakes I got from spotter. First time working on hydraulics, seemed easy enough. Rolled the diaphragm back on like in the instructions but afterwards I noticed a wheezing sound like air escaping when working the brakes. Put some soapy water all around the MC bits and like in the picture, bubbling around a small vent or channel in the lid, when pushing the pistons back in. Wtf? Normal?
Should be explained by fluid being pushed back in to the reservoir. As it does so the diaphragm bulges out and pushes air under the cap out through a vent.
Sounds right Howard, thanks a lot. I arrived at the same conclusion late last night, the noise suddenly became audible because of the excess brake fluid in the vent. I expect it'll go away eventually.
