I’ve had my S10 since Aug, 2011 and feel it’s time to bleed the clutch and brake system.
The clutch is straightforward, but since the bike has the ABS system, I was wondering if anything needed to be done to flush the old fluid out of the ABS pump itself.
Years ago (think Yamaha GTS1000 from the mid 90’s), fluid was trapped in the ABS pumps and general flushing would not remove all the fluid. Thus, when flushing, one had to ‘trick’ the ABS pump into operation to get all the bad fluid out, otherwise the ABS system would seize up.
There is no mention of this in the S10 shop manual from what I can tell, and was wondering what you guys thought?
