Love the speed bleeder advice. I would like to add. Get three bleeder bags. Speeds up the process and less mess. Great job sir!

@PacMoto 2 жыл бұрын

That’s a good idea. That would save you from moving the bleeder bag from brake to brake.

Do you recommend Nordstrom T shirts for brake fluid rags, or is Calvin Klein okay?

@PacMoto Жыл бұрын

Haha usually Neiman Marcus shirts! I’m sure a Calvin Klein will suffice. By the way, I own none of the above!

intructive and well done. Why does an RT need the the atv permit?

@PacMoto 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback. The off-road permit is on the GS. It’s needed to ride in certain areas.

When it says to activate the brakes, what do they want - both hand levers and foot at the same time, or what? Thanks!

@PacMoto 2 жыл бұрын

The GS-911 walks you through the process. You basically are working on one brake at a time. When it’s time to activate that brake, you pull in and release the brake multiple times in a short time period. The GS-911 tells you how long to operate each brake. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for the question and have fun with the brake fluid flush!

Similar process and similar bleeder sizes on the 1250GS I assume?

@PacMoto 5 ай бұрын

Yes, identical. I have a 1250 brake bleed video coming out in a few weeks. But, yes, same same.

@frbaluch1 Ok cool. I’d suggest ordering the Speed Bleeder valves. I assume you have a GS-911 too. The video will come out 4/2.

Hi, Another question. At 9:30 in, rear reservoir is filled but cap is left off, then proceed to pump front brakes. Since front brake lever works both front and rear brakes, is there any “fluid burping up”, and should rear reservoir cap be on to prevent splashing? Thanks again.

@PacMoto Жыл бұрын

No, no splashing or burning. I left it off because you need to add fluid throughout the process. Thanks for the comment!

A question related to one posted below 4 months ago re; “residual old brake fluid in the brake lines.”, any thought on how much old fluid might be released from ABS pump mixing into the system of freshly flushed fluid? Thanks again.

@PacMoto Жыл бұрын

It’s a good question but I really have no idea…. Thanks for the comment.

@DoubleVADV 2 жыл бұрын

Great video thank you! Can this be completed without the GS 911. Or is that necessary for the abs?

@PacMoto 2 жыл бұрын

The GS-911 allows you to actuate the ABS pump. I’m told that you can also use the Motoscan app with a generic OBD device. I recall a good write in the BMW MOA magazine earlier this year.

@moonrunrs Жыл бұрын

@@PacMoto I have the motoscan unit and app. I want to see if it's possible to do with this.

@adv_jaco7883 2 жыл бұрын

Do you need to flush again after the second abs activation with the 911? I remember doing something similar with my Super Tenere and you needed to flush again after activating the abs pump because you might still have some residual bubbles and old brake fluid now in the brake lines. I have an RT now and need to learn how to do it. Thanks for the video!

@PacMoto 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment. The GS-911 software walks you through the process on exactly what needs to be done. In my opinion, it’s the Speed Bleeders that really make the job easy!

Help please! Without noticing I went below the minimum level bleeding front brakes. Front brakes now won't work. What can be done besides take it to the dealer?

@PacMoto Жыл бұрын

You’re okay - just keep bleeding the brakes until you flush out all the air (making sure to keep the reservoir full). If you need more help drop me an email at kurt@pacmototours.com and I can discuss with you over the phone.
