Brake fluid replacement/flush

[imcool]

hi,
In next service, there is brake fluid replacement required to be done.

I am worried if I will get soft brake issue afterwards.

Should I go to dealer(400km round trip)
or
should I do at home? I have tuneecu + OBD mx+ as well as dealertool.CO.UK cable

thanks

To completely bleed the brake system you will need the dealer tool. They can open the ABS valves with the tool (hand held computer) to perform the task.
I would take it to the dealer.

Or buy the dealer tool if you are capable of performing the entire service. Is there not a CPU flash done at 10K as well?

I believe TuneEcu has ABS bleeding functionality as well.

There you go, even better. TuneEcu for the win

I flushed front and rear last november with Deleartool. I'll find out in end April if all went well!

Edit: found answers to my own questions

"Both tools" being the Dealer tool and TuneECU? I didn't know TuneECU had that ability.
OK, I see many mentions of it now- I guess so...

Also, just learning that the "Dealer Tool" is not made by Triumph, as one would expect, just the name of the software "tool."

How much was the dealer tool? Found it- about $100 US here... dealertoolcouk.ipage.com

If TuneECU has the ability, I don't see the need to buy this additional "tool."

I've bleed without doing the ABS, but need to do this at some point.

Kevin, can you please outline all of the brake bleeding steps for with abs? I have searched youtube but no luck with recent/newer bikes abs bleed procedures. :S

When I was looking at buying the "Dealertool," I found this. Maybe helpful....
