I know the title is presumptuous but objectively when I posted it there was no better video than this one. They were all talkative tutorials, with bad shooting and skipped steps. Here is everything you need to know in the shortest possible time. Thank you! :)
Noticed my brake fluid looking a bit dark recently, so I found this video 1st in recommended. I'd rather do it myself than take it to the stealership haha. Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for the good question. It doesn't really make any major difference. Personally I prefer to do this so as not to let more old oil into the circuit and therefore lengthen the tedious process of pumping and opening the valve. You can do it as you like :)
500ml is more than enough. Belray has a bottle of 335ml and im sure its enough for a full change. I did mine with a bottle of motul dot4 500 ml and i still had something left in the bottle. also a tip. never storage the leftover clean brake fluid hoping you will use it later. always use fresh fluid from an unopened bottle @@elmoufo
@@MonsieurMotocyclette and if you have dual calipers in front start bleeding the farthest. Follow the line from the reservoir/master cylinder to the calipers 1st in line is closest in the system etc. Btw I'm not a mechanic or liable 😜
@@torquemasters97 I went deep into the rabbit hole looking for an answer for this. I bought service manuals for few bikes and not a single one mentions completely bleeding the brakes but all of them say that the only thing you should do is to remove air from the system from time to time and add more liquid when it's getting low. So, if you want to swap the old liquid with new, you should keep adding new from the top and releasing old one from the bottom. it's even more convoluted for bikes with ABS. Some manuals say to only remove the air from time to time as on bikes without ABS. Some manuals say you should never drain the liquid from the ABS system at home because the air will get trapped in the ABS pump and you won't be able to remove it without special tool that connect to the ECU to prime the pump. The ABS will not work until you do this. Some manuals say you can drain the ABS system completely and not worry about the air in the pump because it gets primed every time you turn on the bike with the key. I even asked the dealership my bike is serviced at. They said that, if you have non-ABS brakes. You can drain the whole thing dry and refill without issues. If you have ABS, always ask first which ABS your specific bike has before you decide to bleed the old liquid. There is also a sketchy way to do it on ABS bikes. Drain the system, refill, remove as much air as you can... and go for a ride. Do an emergency stop at low speed so the ABS takes over and the pump gets primed. Keep in mind, the initial bite from ABS will do absolutely nothing if there is air in the pump. There is a risk that you will lock up your wheel and fall.
For how easy it is $20 is to much lol just do it yourself just be warned you must pump the brake hold the lever in twist the nut to release the pressure you’ll feel the lever lose all power tight then nut while still holding the lever in never let it go before you retighten the nut otherwise it’ll suck air into you brake line instead of the brake fluid once you re tighten the nut squeeze the lever a couple time and you’ll feel the power come back it’s very easy just watch multiple videos so you really know what ur doing
Much. What it costs is labor. If you do it yourself the hardest part is getting what you need. But once you learn you will always do it on your own and that's what makes the difference :)
Alright I'll let the title slide lol, I'm just glad this wasn't a 30 minute video. Not a bad tutorial, appreciate the help!

Damn this really is the best tutorial on youtube. Im gonna do this on my 07 this week. Thanks!
Thanks a lot :)
Glad I found a video that demonstrates both sides of the front calipers👌🏼

Perfect Tutorial👌🏽👌🏽best i‘ve seen

Very nice work 😎👍🏼
Excellent Explanation good service why no commentry white bleeding the brakes
Thank you!
nice guide. does yours have abs brakes? is this guide for abs? is there anything additional you have to do if we have ABS model?
This IS the ABS model :)
Great video, thank you!
Do you squeeze the break with the line closed or open? Can some one please explain when and when not to pump the brakes? Thank you!
Hey man, it's easier than you think: just watch at 2:56 then if you still not understand I'll try to explain the procedure.
Very helpful video, thanks a lot!
You are welcome :)
Well done!
Thanks
well detailed !!!!!
Is there a reason to remove the old fluid out first with a syringe vs. just pumping it out through the bleed valve? Just makes the process quicker?

ahhhs mr. thank you
You're welcome :)
What about the bleeder by the top master cylinder
What socket set did you use? I like how they have the colored stripes on them
Just google "Wera 8mm"
Great tutorial.. 1 litre is enough? Thanks a lot
Absolutely!
Is 500ml not enough?

out of curiosity... how old was that fluid? it looks dark, I bet 4-5 years at least...
4/5 years, you are right!
I am wondering about what's the tubing size is needed to use on that rear brake beleed nipple
I don't remember if it was 5 or 6mm..
5mm works fine on both. Just get a few feet/1m worth of it.
Anyone else having issue where you’ll get clear fluid out no bubble but still no pressure on front brake??
?
Do you close & release one time and then pump pump pump or you pump close and relase everytime?
Pump > hold > open > close > release 🔁
@@Mech.E thx
@@MonsieurMotocyclette but just one pump is not enough. Every time pump a few times then hold and open bleed valve

Is this the ABS version? does it make any diffrence?
Just follow what Is written in your manual use. Probably it's the same.

How much time would a garage charge to do that?

Why remove the container from the bike?
What do you mean?
