Part 2 K1200RS (2003') Integral Servo Assisted ABS Unit, EVO Brakes, ABS III, Brake bleeding procedure. Step by step continuation of bleeding your FRONT & REAR "CONTROL" Circuits. My first video was bleeding WHEEL Circuits. The CONTROL Circuit bleeding is done every two years. This is the service everyone shy's away from and pays big money to have the dealer do it! Go to the I-BMW forum, do your research, print up Gary Holingers written instructions, which I used as a reference. Here is a link to the write up http://www.i-bmw.com/showthread.php?t=4358 also reference this web site pdf (great pics and step by step text) if you have the older style ABS unit which has the wheel circuit reservoirs on top. http://advwisdom.hogranch.com/Wisdom/service_abs3.pdf Most people do NOT install speed bleeders on there ABS unit for bleeding the 6 bleed ports. You will need at least one SB1010S which is used for bleeding the Front filler adapter and is also used to bleed your clutch. The pointy tip will need to be ground off slightly to prevent the ball check valve from unseating before you get a few turns installing the bleeder in place of the grub screw that covers the hole. sorry for the long length of the videos, i just didn't want to leave out any details for anyone doing it for the first time! I saw the need to make the video to help my fellow K bike owners. After you watch the video i hope you give it a go on your bike and save yourself some money. I did the whole bleeding procedure by myself, wheel caliper circuits and the control circuits. The ABS bleeding uses reserve brakes to pump the fluid due to battery removal for access to a couple bleeders. So old fashioned bleeding. Make sure to get the funnel from www.beemerboneyard.com DISCLAIMER!!! This is how i bleed my bike! Do yours at your OWN risk! I am not responsible for you or any damage to your bike! This is for reference only. Follow your Service manual instructions!

Rarely can we fault the German bikes for their quality - if there are niggles, most of the time it's electronic, or wearing paint - at least since they've had to become more eco-friendly... That said, I cannot fathom why BMW's designers would make some aspects of their bikes so hard to work on! We could conclude that it adds to hourly tallies for dealerships' service departments - but if thing were more accessible/simpler, they'd get through more bikes.... Still... It's a disease that's affecting all the manufacturers these days! Not so good for the home mechanic!

Muito bom o seu vídeo...
Sou do Brasil e tenho um maquina dessa, porém gostaria de saber si o sangramento da roda dianteira é feito por gravidade ou devo bombear o cilindro dianteiro?
Outra pergunta, voce tem o procedimento para sangrar a embreagem? -
Awesome walk thru, cheers mate!

Thanks for the great video, I'm getting ready to have a friend make the tools to start bleeding the abs unit. Quick question, do you have size/model number for the Speed Bleeder required for the front filler adapter?
