This is a revisited topic but now available as a 2-in-1 video on how to bleed/replace the brake fluid on both the front & rear brakes, along with some very useful tips & other details.
A 2nd episode of my Dr Vstrom, brake maintenance video series that aim to ensure proper brake operation.
It demonstrates on a 2017 Vstrom & as a method, it is currently valid for most motorcycles with or without ABS brakes.
There are of course certain ABS and/or combined braking system motorcycles which are exceptions as they need special tools to run the ABS pump through a special bleeding routine cycle. However, the majority of motorcycles out there can be bled normally & in this way.
Please check with your owners/service manual first for this info.
Replacing the brake fluid is a simple yet vital task that has to be performed every 2 years if not sooner as brake fluid is hydroscopic & absorbs 2% of its volume in water every year. As a result brake fluid degrades with use & time & it is this absorbed water that eventually affects your braking system in 2 ways:
--Brake Fluid boiling point drops & bubbles form that can even pass the seals & give a spongy feel (ie Lower Braking Performance).
--Water corrodes vital braking system components with the most sensitive & most expensive to replace being the ABS pump unit (ie Several subscribers have experienced ABS pump failure because of this & of not changing the fluid regularly).
