Fit is good.

All this Torx and Torx-Plus talk. I wonder if I have run across TP and just used regular Torx and didn’t know it

I didn't realize it on the final drive since 2011. K1300S, R1200RS and R1250RS.
I can't believe I noticed Torx Plus on the front brake reservoir cover but not the final drive.
I remember thinking the final drive plug look strange but didn't think much about it when the regular Torx bit seem to fit.
My 45 Torx Plus arrived today and did not fit.
Check to see if any of yours fit.
I bought that set of torx plus in order to have a full set on hand but more immediately to remove the front brake reservoir cap. However, none of the drivers fit. I was sure the screws were torx plus by looking at them. I even check Max's fiche but that didn't say what they were. So just removed them with regular torx. Low torque so no sweat.
The FILL plug is 6mm Hex...not Torx
Progress has been made. I swapped the Speed Bleeder for the OEM bleeder so I could back-fill the rear circuit from the caliper. At first I cracked open the banjo bolt to allow air to escape at the rear master cylinder, after about 35 cc the brake fluid started oozing out at the banjo bolt. I was using a syringe and 3 inches of tubing to gently push the brake fluid in. After tightening up the banjo bolt, I put in another 15 or so cc and this began to overflow the rear reservoir. Now I have resistance in the rear brake pedal so should be able to follow the bleed process with the GS-911. I expect to do that at least twice fully through to be sure I have the air out, and will use a different color fluid to be able to see when it has been exchanged as completely as possible.
