Motorcycle Brake Fluid Change!

- Ideally, you should be changing your motorcycle brake fluid every 2 years. There are many ways to do it, in this video I will show you the old-school way and a cheap method for vacuum bleeding.
As stated in the video breaks are not a good place to start with motorcycle mechanics. Do not attempt unless you know what you are doing.

I bought a vacuum bleeder kit off of Amazon for £14, I have a couple gripes like the hose doesn’t come off the pump after wards, but over all it’s an amazing piece of kit that made my brakes super snappy. Worth it imo, but not always avalible
Personally I empty the reservoir before adding new fluid so it's not mixing in there. Also allows you to wipe it clean. Just don't move the lever until you've refilled it with fresh brake fluid and you won't introduce air into the master cylinder.
6:53 I did remove all but the last bit in the MCR, ok I did not clean it out but by the time it has had 5 MCR full pulled though it I am pretty happy it's going to be ok.
Best thing I ever did was to buy a 1 way valve brake bleed line off Ebay for about £3 means you don't have to keep opening and closing the line
Bled all 3 of my bikes with it, 2 for a friend and 2 for family
Brakes are the most important part of the bike and tyres
I love using my 1 way valve bleeder so I dont have to do the old way anymore.
The air is not coming in from the side of the tube, It's being sucked into the system from around the threads of the bleed nipple. You could go through 10 gallons of fluid and it would still do the same.
Thank you for the screwdriver search. hope you get some money from my purchase
What if you have ABS. I have heard this makes bleeding more problematic.
Change the fluid as per normal. Then you should go for a ride and find a gravel road and carefully activate your abs (if you don’t have a diagnostic tool to run abs pump). Go home and repeat bleeding procedure again to ensure old fluid from abs module is removed 🍻
No specialist [please remember before commenting] - adding new brake fluid to old brake fluid already in the reservoir [remember it's hygroscopic] so it's potentially already 'watered down' IMHO means you're just mixing old with new. Even if you repeated that sequence 3 or 4 times...potentially you could still have contaminated brake fluid.
Now I'm not saying what Spicy is doing is wrong - just questioning 'the science'
Adding to that science question [and including the motoring industry's continued challenges [I use that term loosely but refer to things like service plans, recommended lubricants etc, pricing of parts/labour from 'dealerships' compared to other non branded plus the many helpful videos by Australian John Cadogan]......
Again I'm no specialist, not a scientist and neither would I risk *my life* but for me, personally, I feel that the word hygroscopic is abused by the motoring industry to ensure they get their added 'silver'.
................. there's vehicles being driven now and in decades past that have never seen a brake fluid change. And there's vehicles that have only ever had brake fluid change because of burst brake pipes.
Is all this just OTT to gain more £'s for the motoring industry?
