Brake System Flush | 48K Mile Service - Part 3

[Grumpy Goat]

Surprised at the amount of air bubbles that came out of your calipers initially. I don't have speed bleeders and I removed the wheels and front fender for a tire change when I did my brake flush. With some wedges to hold the pads apart on the front I was able to reach the bleeders easily, especially the left side. Didn't need the wedges on the rear, but reaching the caliper bleeder isn't a problem. Nice video.

Thanks Frank. I too was surprised at the bubbles that came out and expected that after it was all done the front brake lever would be much harder than it is, but it was not (as hard as on the S1000R). It appears slightly harder than before the bleed while difference in the rear brake seemed a little greater. Either way the bike stops just as good as it always did.
