Just makes it quicker. I use a Mityvac 8000 vacuum pump. Makes it a one person job to do clutch and brakes

But the air comes out the 20c clear hose .I still dont understand .
To change fluid i just make sure the fluid doesnt get to low .No lever pump and close nipple thing .Just connect hose ,release nipple keep topping
up res . untill new fluid comes out the hose . Simple , why the other stuff ,takes 5 mins .??
And no 2nd person .

Properly bled Bandit brakes are fantastic.
I had my fronts done last tyre change. Much firmer Leaver and very reassuring.

I always had trouble with the Honda until someone suggested taking the caliper/calipers off , putting a 6mm plate between the shoes and raising them higher than the master cylinder. Air can't get trapped along the line that way.
