I use a syringe to get rid of most of the fluid in the resevoir first, refill with new fliud, so that you are pumping new fluid from the start. Always bleed the point furthest from the master cylinder first, then next, etc. (He did it correctly, just didn't state it) There can also be a bleed point at the ABS or junction point.
POZI, JIS, PHILIPS are TOTALLY different in design.... The Laser 6498 bleeder is awesome!!!!! Got loads of them! BTW, have you ever seen the dirt behind the pistons, in the fluid, even after a few months? You'll never get that fluid out, it is below the bleed screw and will settle at the lowest point. Disassemble and clean properly is only way. 11:58 - air was most likely from bleed nipple (especially since you were just pushing fluid, not really "bleeding" air) - quickly remove the niple and put a glob of red rubber grease on the nipple threads before pushing fluid or bleeding air. Makes a difference.
Saved me £85 by watching this, I was told "Oh No, you cannot bleed brakes on ABS bikes, you have to use this specialist pump or something, so after changing out LH side brake caliper and 20 mins on this video. BOOOM great brakes again. From one Dave to another, cheers pal.
Well done at last Dave. Put some copper-slip on master cylinder screws, they have a tendency to rust in. I read somewhere the engine has to be running when bleeding the brakes due to the ABS system.

You've just given me the confidence to do this my self thanks a lot!!
That’s great news let me know how you get on 👍
That is great. Will do it also on my own. Drop by bro, to check my content. Cheers.
10:32 For brakes I would suggest white wine rather than rosé wine. Above all, no beer, bubbles are bad for braking performance.

Thanks Dave, just about to do this job myself so very useful to see your vid. Thanks
Tie some thing to brake leaves so u check breaks as a reminder before hitting the road my friend 👌

Nice video ! I did the same to mine too. Next will be the Fork Oil.
Brake fluid and fork oil changes tend to be often neglected by motorcycle owners.

How far can you pull leaver? I can touch with mine handlebar if I pull it with full force. There is no air in system.
Something is not right get someone to take a look, just to be safe my friend
@@davetompkinsmotorcyclevlogger Thank you for answering my question.
Your very welcome
