N600 bleed sequence?

[Jayson Allen]

Hi,
Could someone please tell me the proper brake bleeding sequence for a '71 N?
Is it:
1.) Right Rear
2.) Left Rear
3.) Right Front
4.) Left Front
After that, I am just guessing....Is it 5.) Master rear bleed, 6.)Master front bleed?
Then, 7.) booster lower bleed, then 8.) upper (front out) ?
Thanks for your help!

According to the official Honda service manual on the Z600, the sequence is 1. Back of master cylinder (front brakes) 2. Front of master cylinder (rear brakes) 3) Left front brake 4) Right front brake  5) Left rear brake.  Now when you do the right rear is a mystery to me, LOL!  Hope that helps!

With (almost) any car, start as far away from the master cylinder as possible. Right rear->left rear, right front and finally left front... unless you are working on a RHD vehicle. When bleeding, keep the master cyl full... if it goes dry, refill and start over at the beginning....good luck Sent from my iPhone

On my Honda Z, and I believe also on the end, there is only one bleeder in the rear. The brake line comes from the front of the car into one wheel cylinder than a brake line  connects the two wheel cylinders. Then there is a bleeder on one of the wheel cylinders.

As I recall, one of the 600 rear cylinders has a hard line in and a hard line out to the other side. In that case, you only bleed the one with the bleeder screw. New master cylinders should always be filled and pumped until the fluid comes out of the line ports. Unfortunately, when the m/c is installed, air will be trapped in the lines....so, start at the rear and work you way forward.

Here's the way I bleed 2 cylinder Hondas:
Adjust Rear Brakes (eliminates excessive shoe travel)
Master cylinder - 2 bleeders
Brake Booster (usually have to loosen lines)
Front Brakes
Rear Brake

[Jayson Allen]

Thanks Miles, Can you tell me more about why you have to loosen the lines on the booster? Does it matter which order you do the master bleeders or do you do them both simultaneously? And does it matter which order you do the fronts? L->R or R->L?

[Steve]

Because on a AZ600 and '72 AN600 there is no bleeder on the booster, so loosen the 10mm nuts & place a rag to catch
the fluid if you are using DOT 3 or 4.
And I know no one else will agree with my bleed sequence, but to bleed the rear first plan on 100 pedal strokes to get the
pressure up or bleed the fronts first and since it is dual circuit front & rear are separate and also separate in the reservoir.
