Volume of brake fluid required

Padowan · Jun 4, 2013

I'm gonna give the brakes an annual flush through and wondered how much fluid would be required to turn-over the volume in the system?

I know it'll be hard to get every little bit changed in every nook and cranny, but does anyone know the volume of the different circuits?

Bikes got ABS, and I'll be flushing the 4 circuits to and from the ABS unit individually. Any ideas?

The amount varies depending on if you have a servo/abs or just abs.

If a servo/abs buy two litres and you'll be fine. Although you can easily dump a few litres through the system if you don't know what you're doing. But then again, if you do know what you're doing you can get away with a litre.

If just abs one litre will do you.

Just ABS, no servos here!

I'll get a litre then, although I might get 2 and do the Dakar while I'm at it to use it up!
