Hey guys, I'm Max. 16 years old and have owned two motorcycles so far, raced a few, and test ridden countless amounts. I had a GS750 that is still in my garage, and now belongs to a new owner(Once he picks it up), and just bought a rusted old KZ750 which I plan to restore(Maybe with an Eddie Lawson motor, I know some people who know some people
).
I'm going to post all the little doohickies I did and am doing to my bike here, along with the date, and step by step procedures. Pictures too. I love to ride! I can't stand being boxed up in a car most of the time, even though I love driving/racing/drifting things with 4 wheels.
So the list starts now!

Bled the front brakes, took it out for a quick spin in the rain and noticed the immidiate stopping power, no more of that pansy softish feel that only slows me down!
Items required :
10mm wrench
Clear tube
Oil pan of some sort, or just a bottle
Phillips screw driver(May require the hammer type, rusty bolts arnt going to come out with man power, and will most likely break if you try.)
Brake Fluid
Lots of Rags or Tissue like stuff!
Prefered Clamp, or just a couple of small rubber bands will do the trick.
((Brake fluid reservoir is found atop the right brake lever. Brake Bleeding Valve is usualy found atop the caliper near the back, should stick out and look like a valve
)
1. Unbolt the Brake fluid holder, and stock a clear tube onto the bleeder tip.
2. Clean out the old brake fluid(Mine was rather rusty), and clean up the interior of the fluid holder, then fill up with fluid!
3. Clamp down the brake, and begin unscrewing the bleeder valve(10mm), liquid along with a few airbubbles is common, check for leaks along the line too!
4. Release brake, and reapply, then clamp, and tighten the bleeder valve all the way.
5. Check for tension on brake lever, if it's soft, try again! Should have nominal amount of pressure to it.
6. Move to the next caliper!
