Fill the reservoir up to the line. Place the rest of your fluid in the bleeder, then attach it to the reservoir and pump it to 20psi. Place a hose on the LF caliper bleed screw into a bottle, then open the screw. Wait until the bubbles stop. Pump the brake pedal about an inch eight or ten times for the first caliper to bleed the MC. Then do the RF, then the rears. Release the pressure in the bleeder by opening the pump, remove it, top off the reservoir, and you are done. The trick is to have a full quart of fluid on hand so you can bleed enough to get the bubbles out.
