Tyres, Brakes and Suspension » Brake fluid change

Hey. I need to change the brake fluid and have a few questions. How much liquid should be used? Is the ABS unit also flushed? Or do you need, for example, a GS 911 to activate the ABS pump?

Btw, where is til conector for the GS911? Under the seat?

When I did my brake fluid, I just opened the reservoir, drained it with a syringe, put in fresh fluid and flushed the system with the bike off. Once clean fluid is coming out all the nipples, your lines are purged of the old stuff.

Speedbleeders make an easy job even easier.

Your local auto parts store will have brake fluid that matches EXACTLY what is specs on your reservoir cover. There's no magic brake fluid.

There's so little brake fluid in your ABS unit, it's not worth the trouble flushing it if you don't have GS-911 device.

The connector is behind the battery cover on the right hand side of the bike. I used an easy bleeder to pull the fluid out from the bottom. I did use my GS-911 to cycle the ABS pump. Whether or not that's necessary, I can't say. I had the unit so I used it. All said, I was done the job in about an hour.
