Anyone have pointers to share or can recommend a kit?

a youtube search for 'bleeding scooter brakes' turns up a lot of videos. I'll link to one...although i do my bleed a little different than he does (although he does fix scooters for a living!).

I use the 'crack the bleeder, squeeze the brake lever, close the bleeder, release the brake lever..and repeat' method.

I do pop 2 holes in the foil cap on the bottle, one to pour out of and the other to vent so it pours smooth.

Flexible tubing from your local hardware store, an old plastic bottle and some new fluid and you're god to go!

Brake bleeding went well, used the one man bleeder kit. These are also helpful videos.
