How much Brake Fluid to Flush?
2018 R1200 GSA
Just finished watching a video by a BMW mechanic saying that BMW does not require cycling of the ABS system when flushing the brake fluid, but to make sure you use the volume of fluid specified to meet their standard. The RT he was working on was an older ABS equipped model and said for this bike it was 2 full bottles of fluid. Assuming they are 500ml each, then I would guess that he used 300ml for the rear, and 600ml for the fronts?
I have not been able to confirm the quantity BMW requires to meet their specification for brake fluid flushing.
Has anyone seen this spec? Or know the quantity?
Please note, I have flushed many brakes in vehicles, trailers and bikes, and I flush until clean fluid appears, but I also use up the entire bottle of fresh brake fluid as it deteriates once opened, therefore no sense leaving it sit on a shelf.
thanks
brian
