    2007 R1200GS Adventure ABS module reinstall

    I recently had the ABS module repaired by ModuleMasters, but I am flummoxed by the reinstall process. The module is an iABS2, also referred to as ABS IV , I think. It has no bleed nipples on the module itself. I bought the GS-911 unit so I could run the process that bleeds the module, but the...

    Looking for a speed bleeder recommendation for a 2012 RT

    I'd like to try some speed bleeder valves to make the brake fluid change job even faster. Can anyone recommend a particular model/brand from personal experience? I have never used these, just did the old pump-close-pump routine which if I can speed it up and not need a second person would be...

    The top brake Line on my 2003 K1200GT had a 80mm riser added and causing a problem. Prior owner and I didn't notice until recently how a left turn puts it under pressure. Solution is to order a +2 inch top brake line and replace it. Not urgent other than I want to fix a wrong. A complete...

    R1150RT Spiegler Brake Line Install Tips?

    I am working on a friend’s 2007 RT with 63,000 miles on it. Performed brake bleed as done several times before on this model with no issues. Attached GS-911 and performed rear brake bleed test to actuate the ABS pump. Test seemed normal; pumped functioned for ten seconds and I depressed the...

    Proper Brake Bleed Procedure Using GS911 on 2014 1200 GSW

    I'm preparing to flush the brake fluid on my 2014 1200 GSW. I have a Hex GS911 but have not been able to find the proper flush sequence (including the abs unit) anywhere for a 1200 GS wethead. Do I need to flush the abs (with GS911) while bleeding the rear calipers, and then again while bleeding...

    silly brake fluid question

    All - It always kind of chaps me that I buy a pint of brake fluid, use about 1/10 of it, then have to throw the remainder away because of the "use only brake fluid from an unopened container" commandment. My understanding of the reason for this is that brake fluid will absorb water vapor from...

    "brake failure" indicator on.

    I had the rear hub recall replacement work completed on my 2009 R1200RT. It was, thankfully, not cracked but the Service department @ the Daytona Beach BMW dealer replaced it anyway. While riding the bike, with in 20 miles after the repair, the "break failure" lamp stays on, ABS does not...

    Wooden Brake Pads, huh?

    I've been preparing to change my brake fluid for my first time. Just bought my first Beemer and in researching service requirements I learned about the importance of changing the brake fluid. New to me. So, I've been watching several YouTube videos and bought a brake fluid hand pump. Just been...

    FYI: Front Brake Bleeding

    A while back, I replacing the front master reservoir on my wife's K75S. While the system was open, I also put speed bleeders on the front calipers. Because the system had been opened in three places, I expected it to take a while to bleed. But not a half an hour! I kept going back and forth...
