Default only changed front lines, need to bleed all 4 brakes??

Hey guys,

I just installed my line locks on my front brakes. Do I need to bleed all 4 brakes or just the fronts?

Thanks!

You should be fine with the fronts if you kept fluid in the master.

But, if a bubble got into one of the front lines and rose up into the ABS pump, then you'll find your brakes are soft and you'll need to bleed them all.

Always bleed all four brakes, doesn't matter whether you only changed the fronts or the rears. Trust me, your brakes will feel/react 10x better.
