kdx and kx swap??

Post by Ryan »

I tried bleeding the brakes and changing the fluid, and i cant build any pressure, there is no leaks in the line or anywere i can see. I was wondering i can use the the resivor from my kdx on the kx brake line. It looks the same to me and has the same numbers.

Ryan, Use a Syringe or SUCK the TUBE, while adding fluid to the Master Cylinder. Air is in the system MOST LIKELY. I have the same problem and I had to SUCK IT UP :oops:
