I ended up taking to dealer just to be sure...1 hour labor charge and a peace of mind.

Get a set of speed bleeders and make the job simple. Many have done it, it's not rocket science.

I use mine to remove the fluid from the MC first and then pull all the fluid from the system. DOT 4 is not your paints friend. Plus it works good for all kinds of other test and repairs. (Like when the idiot at the oil change place overfills the trans fld on your truck, just stick a hose down the dipstick tube and suck it out)

I bought an 09 UC w/ABS. Two years later my dealer service dept. told me they never changed brake fluid on bike w/ABS & would I allow them to use my bike as a test. They said it would be free so I said yes. Took them 1/2 hour & wasn't anything to do they said. No real special things to do.
