Here's another ('nuttier) question: After looking up speedbleeder.com I found the correct application for my 1150RT: front: (2)SB8125L, rear: (1)SB6100, clutch: SB1010S. Then they list ABS unit: (4)SB7100S & (2)SB7100.
Do I need all of these bleeders, and with "youse" guys who do their own bleeding, do you also bleed the control unit (and thus removing the gas tank) or just the front and rear? Maybe one day I won't have to ask so many questions and can answer a few (oh glorious day!)
P.S.--I do have the dvd on the 1150 & 1200 by jvb, but I didn't see anything mentioned about bleeding the control unit that is mysteriously hidden under the fuel tank.
I noticed at speed bleeders website that they have BMW adapters. Do I need those or are the speed bleeders listed for my 1150rt all that I need? Thanks!
I have to bleed the air out of my front left caliper due to opening the brake line and losing fluid. I replaced the pads with new pads on both left and right calipers. So far I have not begun to attempt the bleeding. Can I bleed the front calipers without removing them and using the wood blocks? I am not flushing the fluid since that was done 2 months ago. I just want to get the air out that is most likely in the line. I expect I will need to get into the resivoiur for the front wheel circuit. I intend to get speed bleeders for the front before I start the job.Yes and there are plenty of how to threads online to help. I have the servo brake system on my 04 RT and I do mine every year. Probably overkill, but makes me feel better. It does take a bit of time and even longer on the first try. I usually allow about two hours to do the brakes and clutch. Not a difficult job, just time consuming. Save yourself some $$$ and go for it. Here is a good article for the servo brakes. http://users.rcn.com/dehager/service/service_abs3.pdf I know it looks intimidating, but really not bad at all.
