I noticed today that my front brake line has a lot of air in it and I don't really want to be riding it to get serviced and only rely on the rear break never know what could happen. So my question is what's the easiest way to re-bleed my front brakes. I've bled brakes on my old dirt bike before but not to sure with my road bike. Its a 05 636 if that helps.
I also know I could put it on a trailer to take there but that is just a massive hassle and not the easiest task when there is only one person.

Super cheap auto brake bleed kit. Consists of a clear hose with a rubber end. Fit hose over bleed nipple, loosen said bleed nipple, pump lever and keep the resivoir topped up. When you get clean fluid in the clear tube with no bubbles tighten the bleed nipple and your done.

The bleed nipple on the calipers or up on the brake lever?

Do the brake calipers first then finish off by doing the MC. After you do the bleed, get a cable tie and tie the brake lever tight against the bar., Leave it overnight then quickly release some of the air that has risen up to the mc from the top bleed nipple.
