"someone on the b.b. says before starting job depress the brake pedal about one and one half inches. prop a stick between the seat and the brake pedal, and it will hold the fluid in the system,

i now bleed the whole system till i get new fluid from every bleeder."

Hi, I'm the "someone", but that tip has nothing to do with Bleeding Brakes. It's to keep fluid from running out of the MC when you remove a caliper (or all of them). There is no way you're going to bleed brakes with that stick in place.

The picture is a nice bench bleeding setup by Rob Bariess (Aye Roll).
