Default Need Help Bleeding Brakes On Sportsman 500

I just replaced the master cylinder on my 2002 Sportsman 500. I am used to having a bleed screw on the master cylinder which this one doesn't have. Does anyone know how to bleed the brakes on this unit? Thanks for any help!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Bleed the system thru the bleeder screws on your front and rear brake calipers.

follow your manual on the order of bleeding the wheels, i think it is closest wheel first but am not 100% sure.

i noticed on my sport and scambler and others that the brakes from the factory seem a little mushy and a good bleed will help, it wont hurt, and for the price of a little fluid its relatively cheap.
