One of the things that you guys who don't want to bleed your brakes can do in the interim (And you should learn to do it. It's incredibly easy once you wrap your head around it.) is go to the dollar store, buy a turkey baster, and suck out the fluid from your reservoir, leaving a small pool in the bottom so you don't allow any air into the lines. Then top off the reservoir with fresh fluid. You'll at least be putting a small portion of new fluid into the system.

This is the lazy ass redneck way of doing it. But it's better than nothing.

Seriously though, all you need to do a proper brake bleed is abour 30 cents worth of clear tubing from Home Depot, a wrench, some new fluid and about 8 minutes.

PROCEDURE:

• Remove the lid from the reservoir.
  Remove small portion of old fluid.
  Refill with new fluid.
  Sit on a stool in front of the bike, where one arm can reach the front brake.
  Remove the dust cap for the caliper nipple
  Slide clear tube over the nipple (That's what she said)
  Slide your wrench onto the nipple (It's either 8mm or 10mm)
  Squeeze brake lever and crack open the bleeder valve (nipple) at the same time.
  Watch nasty looking syrup ooze out
  Close bleeder valve
  Release brake lever
  REPEAT - UNTIL FLUID IS ALL NEW AND THERE ARE NO BUBBLES

NOTES:
Don't ever let the reservoir run dry
Run clear tube into a an old water bottle that has some brake fluid in the bottom so you don't suck air back into the system.

DONE.
