Willy Nilly Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I need to replace my brake fluid & have never done a flush before. How difficult is it to do ? Is regular DOT 4 fluid o.k. to use ? Thanks in advance for all replies. Link to comment
Ken H. Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 On the R1100 series it is straight forward. Put fresh fluid in the master cylinder, crack the bleeders and pump the fluid through. If you have ever bleed any brake system on most anything, it is the same. DOT 4 is just fine. Note to other new readers - The R1150 and R1200 hex head series (up to '06 model) are decidedly different! Link to comment
