Caution! To prevent paint damage, do not spill brake fluid onto any area of the bodywork. Spilled brake fluid will damage paintwork.
1. Drain the fluid from the front master cylinder by bleeding the system at the front caliper until all fluid has been expelled (see Bleeding the front brakes, renewing brake fluid).
2. Drain the fluid from the rear master cylinder by bleeding the system at the rear caliper until all fluid has been expelled (see Bleeding the rear brakes, renewing brake fluid).
Warning!
- Before the disassembly of any brake lines in the ABS hydraulic circuit, always mark their position so that they can be returned to the same position when assembled.
- If the brake lines are incorrectly assembled the performance of the ABS system will be seriously compromised, leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning! Do not allow the brake hard lines to become bent or kinked during ABS modulator removal. If the brake lines are bent or kinked the performance of the ABS system will be seriously compromised, leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
