Its basicly the same you just go from one side to the other. Back and forth till you don't see any more bubbles and the lever has a nice solid feel.

Ok ill try to be as clear as i can. First open the two bleeder valves, Then unscrew the brake line where it goes into alittle box right near the top of the steering stem just below the plastics. After doing this fill it with fluid. When you do this screw the hose back in and fill up the resivor. Close the vallves again. Pump the break leaver until it becomes stiff. Then losen the valves, you will hear a hissing noise of air coming out of the bleeder valves. Repeat doing the last two steps until fluid comes out of the bleeader valves, close them up and if you have a nice even pull you are all set. But filling the lower line before the resivor was the only way we could getr my 400's bakes to bleed, even after pumping for 20 minutes. Then when we did that withing 1 minute they were bled. Hope this helps some.

Everything Nacs just said but if after pumping for a while you still get nothing leave it for an hour or two. I just did this on my YZ and I couldn't get any pressure so I let it sit to let all the bubbles settle and repeated the steps. After another 20 mins of pumping I finally got some pressure. Try squeezing the lever slowly for a while it seemed to work for me.
