Hey everyone, my name is Gary and I’m from Ms. I am a new member and have a guestion . I just finished bleeding the brakes on my 17 Pioneer 1000M3. As I was bleeding the brakes with a hand vacuum pump bleeder, I noticed the gauge bleeding down after I tightened the bleeder valve. Is that normal or do I have another problem, all 4 calipers did the same thing, but I now have a full brake pedal. Any advice would help, Thanks

Welcome in! Glad you got that brake work done and ended up with a solid pedal. That gauge drop after tightening can happen if there's still a tiny bit of air in the line or the gauge itself isn't perfectly sealed, but since all four calipers are responding the same way and your pedal feels good, you're probably fine. What's the pedal feel like on the trail, any sponginess when you're actually riding?
