Really enjoying this thread. I’ve been through a lot of the same problems you’re experiencing. Same bike same age. It’ll all be worth it in the end!!

Thanks pops. That means a lot. I know I said that before but it does.

I know the bike so much better and it’s my first time doing this.

Responsibly

Have you got the ignition turned on when you're bleeding the abs pump with the GS911?
From memory, I just bled them normally and then ran a cycle front and back through the GS911 with the bleed valves closed.

Did you do this on the gs 911? Wondering if I can do this despite the unit being fecked? Think my brakes are solid - ran a half litre through earlier but until I ride…. Back brake is band on

You don't need to to part the actuators .
Remove the motor cover and free the brushes . Known fault with motors that have stood a while.
Thread on here somewhere on doing this.
I believe it is the same pump motor as a Ford Fiesta , not sure if it is MK7 or Mk8 again info on this site somewhere.

I’m going to look no thus

I’ll leave you with this until at least Sunday when I might do small jobs, I need a decent extendable ladder. Realised I love projects to do but I need a another project to dive into before I can finish one I’ve run out of steam with. I’m only mad for the painting decorating at the moment! Guess I’ll be back to the bike in a few months to do the fork seals etc.
