Brake bleeding order?
Pertains to a 2008 Sportsman 500 HO EFI.
My question is, I know you are supposed to begin bleeding brakes with the furthest one from the master cylinder, so does that mean the rear brake? And if so, since the rear is actuated by both the hand and foot pedal, which one do I pump to do the bleeding? The service manual isnt very clear on these points.

the rear brake uses both,foot and hand lever,as you see it has it's own master cylinder and resevoir and you'll notice it has two bleeder screws. Since you are bleeding brakes you may as well do both ,start with the foot brake system first, then do hand brake rear,then front right,.......

Also make sure to drain your fluid once a years coz brake fluids do expire.
