No it doesn’t. As the video clearly showed, as long as you keep fluid in the tube above the Master Cylinder, it’s completely fine being sure to not compress the lever or remove the tube at the Master Cylinder. That’s why he clamped down the tube as an extra precaution to keep air out. If you’re smart about it and take your time you don’t need to.
did not even say after the dot 4 fill up to bleed your break lines to make sure there is no bubbles to avoid break failure.......typical gsxr rider. yea its common knowledge some would say but what if its somebody that has NEVER done any type of vehicle/moto work and wants to learn? good demonstration, but horrible execution on final steps and no full disclosure especially for a newbie rider wanting to do the work themselves
I do not like the high mount of the reservoir on any and all motorcycles. Some of the reservoirs on factory set-ups have the reservoir almost level with the master and front brake lever, like on my YZ450F. That seems okay and better than the ugly set-ups on the majority of Bikes. But still.......... Even replacing the cheap plastic reservoirs with some swanky looking billet aftermarket still does not solve the reservoir from sticking out like a sore thumb on top of the handlebars like on any of the MT-10 models. Motorcycle engineers should just take a little time and solve this eyesore with a better more concealed less obtrusive solution. Everyone wants their rides to be kickass fast and stop on a dime, but hey we all want them to look fantastic as well. This reminds me of some beautiful supermodel having an ugly mole on her face that kind of ruins the whole experience. Know what I mean?
This has to be the best install tutorial video I’ve ever seen
So no need to bleed the break lines?
What bracket mount is that for this install? Need one for 2021 mt-09
I think it's CT451B
Are the windows clear or smoked? On the website they are clear.
I think they are smoked
I have it and it's clear.
A lot of drama and slow motion buildup for this. The suspense was killing me. I had to skip to the end to find out what happens.
Need bleeds to just to change the reservoir

AEM makes one that connects directly to the master cylinder. No hose or bracket. Bonus, it’s titanium.
