I did something stupid - Advice please

[Big_Steve64]

So as usual when I do a few jobs on my bike, I end up creating even more jobs.

I bought a cracking set of Stainless bolts and have been changing a few here and there. So while my wheels are being powder coated, I thought I would take out the pads, clean the calipers and then fit the new SS screws in the Caliper.

So to make it easy blast) I loosened the 4 bolts that hold the calipers together. Then I noticed brake fluid was leaking from near the banjo. I quickly tightened then again, cleaned up the fluid.

The bike is an 05 GS with servo, Brembos.
I haven't touched the leaved or turned on the ignition. There was only a tiny amount of leakage.

What will I need to do?
1) Nothing
2)( Bleed the front brake circuit
3) Bleed the servo + front brake circuit.

Any advise or even piss taking gratefully received.

Wait till the wheel's back in and take it for a test ride. Carefully, mind

Agreed.

It's highly unlikely that a tiny dribble of fluid will make any difference, and the pressure, although tiny, is OUTWARDS from the system, so it's unlikely any air got IN to the system.

Check levels at the reservoir, re-assemble and test ride it carefully to see if you have full power with the brakes.

Tosh, I have had that in my watch list for a few weeks. I got a brilliant maint dvd from Germany. The fella on that has something similar. He changed the brake fluid and made it look so simple. I am hoping it is in case I need to bleed the brakes.
