You can bleed them with the tube in a can of fluid method just like a car. 
However the master cylinder pumps just a little shot at a time so it takes 
forever. I seriously wouldn't replace a brake line without a vacuum pump. Dot 
3/4 works fine.

Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Brake fluid change

I am going to change the brake fluid in my NH.  I went to two auto supply
stores and they only had a fluid marked DOT 3 and DOT 4.  Can I use that or
do I have to go to Honda and get fluid for DOT 4 only?

 

Also I am going to change out the fluid. The book says I can do it manually
without a suction pump.  Will I regret trying that manually. Most everyone
recommends the pump.  I have done it a number of times on cars, but
motorcycles are different in that when you remove the lid, you lose the
vacuum?  Will the clutch lever push the fluid down without air?

 

Ron
