If you aren't 100% confident I'd be inclined to read up on the jumper method instead, you can do it in the comfort of your workshop.

Certainly a good option. Still intrigued about different noises and whether it's exact same system for front and back wheel...

I think you need to activate both. This is pretty easy if you have access to a good dirt road, but the factory service manual has a procedure for cycling the abs with a jumper wire.

Yes, it's the same system, what you're hearing is one caliper vs two and sound localization (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2814998/ - you hear differently from the front of your head vs the back), when they're cycling.

How To: Cycle the ABS Pump
Here's how to use the S10 built in ABS pump cycling feature. Tools Needed: 1. Jumper wire with both ends stripped. 2. Mini Screw Driver to remove the waterproof rubber bungs. 3. Fully Charged Battery. 3. Locate the 4-way connector under the main seat. 4. Remove the 2 rubber bungs on Blue...

yes speed bleeders make the job a lot easier, have been using them on my Goldwing for many years and plan to get a set for the Tenere as well.I can share this:
If you need, i can get you detailed specs on the factory slave bleed screw since i have two here and calipers.

Stupid question time. How are the brakes linked? If I only pull the lever is the ABS powering the rear brakes? Then if I press the pedal does the pump stop and the rear reservoir take over?

I think that is exactly it. I think the abs module handles the linked aspect also. I say this because there was a guy who had a bad seal in his abs pump and it was injecting air into his rear line every time he used the front. If he bled the rear and used the rear only, it was fine until the first time he used the front. The solution was a new abs module which is about $950 from rmatvmc last time i looked.

Hi all, I’ve just changed my brake and clutch fluid. Brakes are all good, abs cycled and everything great the clutch however.... since I’ve changed the fluid, the biting point of the clutch lever is almost right on the handlebar. The fluid reservoir is full... what have I done wrong to cause this and how can I rectify it please? Thanks!

Sounds like air in the line. My engagement point did not change when i bled mine.

I will also throw this in this tread that might help some folks out (replacing #2)... I have found over the years that if you own a 2012 / 2013 you might want to consider this faster than someone that has a 2014+. I have also install new #2 with bikes that have 50K/75K+ miles and always makes it work much better. What Ive seen is it looks as if the aluminum shaft starts to wear, then that 'grit' starts to wear on the seals, and then goes down hill. I believe the part is about $20 and worth a change out 'one-day'. This is a part that most people dont even think about, but makes a difference and is just a long term maintenance part to flip out once and awhile.

Added that to the list for my 25k maintenance. This makes perfect sense.

Just tried to fit a SB7100 to the rear caliper of my 2017 bike. The OEM one is longer than the SB7100 and won’t fit. Not sure if this is an issue on later bikes. Has anyone fitted them to a 2017 or later bike? The clutch and left front caliper speed bleeders seem to fit ok.

WOW,
hope not a bought a SB7100 as gunslinger said for the rear not fitted any yet as i just got my SB8125LL from the USA.
I OREDERED a SB8125LL for the right front as told
i ordered a SB8125L for the clutch and left front
i ordered a SB7100 for the rear
but as said none fitted yet i have these to go in a gen 1 but don,t know why a gen 2 would be different
lets see if gunslinger-006 has a answer
rob
matt, that SB7100 you bought its a 1.00 thread can i ask what the total lengh from top to bottom yours is as you know
i ordered one to mine is 30mm
rob
i ordered one to mine is 30mm
rob
just looked on speed bleeders webb site, and THE SB7100 if you look come in to lenghs the sb7100s IS 30MM long whitch is what mine is
that i just bought like you i suspected matt.
they also show a sb7100 but thats 35mm long I BET THEN THATS THE ONE WE NEED A 35MM LONG ONE and i bet the sb7100 that are advertised in the uk like the one i bought are 30mm.
even tho its short would it mean it will not work then, as i don,t know where in the uk we,ll get a sb7100 35mm long
