1100 with ABS - brake cylinder overhaul

[MMC]

Morning all,

About to help a fellow GSer with this little job... Stripping and sorting out the front brake cylinder (the one on the handlebar) on his R1100GS with ABS.

Anyone who's done it before got any tips and advice - particularly on the ABS side of things?

Cheers

Takes about 30 mins start to finish.

Took me about 45 mins.

That's because you know what you're doing. I'll budget an afternoon then. Maybe two...

Actually, last one i did took 50 minutes. I put the new piston in the wrong way and i couldn't get it to bleed.

The owner was standing next to me waiting while i did the job .

He still uses me

Acually IIRC, you were the one to warn me not to put the piston in the wrong way round
