You posted instructions on the correct procedure for bleeding ABS brakes a few weeks/months ago and I can't find it! Can you point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

btw bike is a 2003 1150 ABS and servo

I was trying to find my post, i couldn't find it, would have been quicker typing it :D

But it's basically whats been pointed out in the previous post .
 
BB,

You got to sort that avatar buddy, can't you just keep it still or summat, I can't concentrate on the reading.

:rolleyes:
 
I still can't see Steptoe's procedure, but here is another great description. The process is easy to follow, although it needs a bit of preparation: you need to make some wooden spacers as well as a funnel to increase the volume of the fluid in the pump reservoir.
To make the necessary tools, look here.
The bleed procedure is here.

Noooooo = no need for wooden spacers and funnels, can't believe what's going on in those instructions :D Jesus, takes 10 more minutes than the non servo procedure. But it's easier with the servo pumps. if you know what i mean .
 
Thanks for taking the effort to dig that out but I'll stick with the basic method.

Cheers
Dave

Really? I believe you in that the sequence of bleedings specified in the shop manual and instructions above may be more complex than strictly necessary (how Teutonic!). However, the servo reservoirs are tiny:
1) The level changes with pad wear, so don't you need a spacer to set the proper fluid level?
2) The reservoir empties itself almost instantly as soon as you start bleeding, so don't you need a funnel to keep air out of the reservoir?

1) retract pads, and chock them. they tend not to be pushed out anyway, if you use the electric servo to pump the fluid with the bleed points open .

2) I have a very large syringe, keeps the level the same as i bleed the system . And i've changed a servo unit on a bike without any grief . Not rocket science, if i can do it, anyone can :D

This is true because Steptoe is an IT god but a mechanical muppet :thumb

If Steptoe were American, he could do this and still have a free hand for the syringe...

Best post for ages, no idea what it means but it just feels right :thumb
 
Will any sort of wood do for the spacers?

Where can I buy a servo assisted funnel?

And is it true that only women bleed.

Any wood is good wood

Have you tried ebay?

Not sure, only women seem to make an issue about it though :nenau
 
Fellas,
This post is rapidly deteriorating, and partly because of me. I just meant to say (read his post) that Steptoe can handle a large syringe while pressing the brake lever, while fooling with a nipple, eh, bleed nipple that is.
Rocket scientists are overvalued.

Two hands only are needed, the bleed nipple only needs to be opened, then you let go .

the fluid only pumps when the lever is activated ( with one hand)

The syringe fills (with the other hand).

Everyone knows that didn't happen, unless you count it happening in a Hollywood basement.
