great video. I hope you do more videos with all the fluid changes and tips (oil, coolant). also some say if the bike has abs some fluid still resides in the abs pump and you need to activate the abs to change it. is it true? or will it mix and dilute with the new fluid over time as we use the brakes? thanks.
To be honest I’m not entirely sure, but I believe yes it does mix with pockets of fluid in the system, I recommend doing abs system flushes more regularly
There is still plenty of chance for air to be in the highest points of the brake line. YOu need to get the caliper higher so that ALL the air can flow up to the bleed nipple.
With the multistrada there seems to be only one way. You have to use the highest wet boiling point brake fluid you can find. The best one to date is Castrol SRF racing brake fluid. It has a wet boiling point of 270 C. It is the almost highest yet. Motul and other brands don't come close. If you find it use it on all brakes and it will do the trick. Beware though, it is very expensive they only sell it minimum of 1L which is almost 70 dollars
Where do you get all the specs for these bikes? I have a shop manual and owners manual for my bikes but can't always find the right specs or schematic for the steps I'm doing.
You help me so much, i try to make this like 3 times and nothing and then i saw your video that caliper must be up. Thanks so much!
Excellent step by step precise instructions/ methods. Always a good watch thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it

Great vid, thanks for all the little detail. I would totally trust you to work on my bike.

Gotcha!
Do you have a video on how to improve the MTS1200 Multistrada rear brake? This one was superb.

From shop manuals, forums, experience, you tube videos and mentors over the years
Cool, but can't understand why they'd design the brake like that!
Sometimes parts become an afterthought due to careful placement of design elements. So… this is what happens. They did correct it in later models
