Default Brake Bleeding question

I recently disconnected my line lock and reinstalled it.

Now my brakes seems soft. Before the pedal was very firm.
Do I need to just bleed the front brakes ?
Do I need to also bleed the M/C ?

I ordered a set of the Russell speed bleeders to make the job easier.

Thanks

Vic

Not too sure on what the proper procedure is, or why that happened to you. How is the car coming along these days? Everything all buttoned up from the mishap?

I would do every wheel to be safe, and if that doesn't help then the MC.

Right Front, Right Rear, Left Rear, Left Front for my car, I assume the same for yours.

I just reinstalled my line lock on my car this past weekend. I did bleed one front brake just to get the fluid going. My pedal is as hard as it usually is. If you have a soft pedal, then just bleed them all. The speed bleeders are nice to have. ;)
