Polaris Storm Brake Bleeding Trick

Do any of you gentlemen know a trick for bleeding the brakes on a 94 Storm? The brake is hydraulic and liquid cooled on the oposite side of the engine from the clutch.

The bleeder is buried under the coolant tank. Can I do this without taking the sled apart?

Thanks,
Bill

...that was a rotten job BTW.... Spilled fluid all over the garage floor. Got her going for one more ride before the end of the season though....

Talking

This has been an ongoing problem....

It appears that the stop light pressure switch was leaking. We bled the brakes again last night.

If you ever have leaves in the bottom of the belly pan right next to your exhaust pipes, clean them out before you go for a test ride.....

Can any of you guys tell me what the female bullet connectors are called that plug onto this switch? The Polaris shop wants $80.00 - no way!

....also, does anyone have a recommendation for on-board fire extinguishers?
