Exactly...

Other end into a bottle of the correct and new brake fluid... pump pump pump pump till you don't get any more bubbles in the bottle. Then tighten the bleeder and check for pressure.

It's pretty simple to bleed and replace brake fluid. First time takes a while but after that the hardest part is getting the fairing off.

Why do you need to take the fairing off to bleed brakes?

I pretty much do that every time the wheels will be off for longer than usual or any time I leave the area and the calipers are off.
well like i said aparently i didnt squeeze it hard enough cause i never needed to bleed the system.

i did anyways though.

You aren't the only one... someone has a new strange model with the calipers stuck up under the frame... :skep:
