So you have been asking for it so here it is. A how to bleed your brakes.
YouTube - Pitbike brake bleeding
This is my first attempt at a how to video and was done off the top of my head so forgive me for the mistakes as it was all done in 1 take. I say a few wrong things in places and forget to tell you that the spanner is 8mm, you get the idea tho.
Also to note, the first method I demonstrate works good on some brakes but not on others, you may have more luck setting it all up the same but only doing 5-6 half pumps of the brake lever and just letting it drain down by itself.
There are several other methods that I did not mention but these are easy and the way I prefer to do it. The piece of hose I used should be able to be purchased from any good hardware store and should cost you no more then a couple of dollars. To bleed the front and rear brakes I would have probably used less then 250ml of fluid, most bottles are 500ml and you should have plenty of fluid left
