Thank you so much Tom! I am about to hit 20,000 miles, so time to do valves and this brake fluid flush! Appreciate your videos!
These bikes will go a long time with some basic maintenance. Thanks for watching.
Great job on your videos. I ride a 2015 Super Tenere, your vids on valve check/adjustment and brake bleed were a HUGE help. Keep up the good work, and RIDE SAFE!
I’m glad to hear that they helped. Ride that Yamaha, great bike.
Thanks for your help!
From France!
Merci beaucoup!
Thank you very much for the detailed description! Tomorrow I’ll go change my brake fluid. On Saturday, open the season this year. Yuhuu! Have a good luck!
I hope your maintenance goes well, ride safe. Thanks for watching.
Thanks, found this video gave a really clear easy to folllow procedure for brakes and clutch - no need to question my sanity I've just subscribed!
Ekim Rewop hope it all works well for you. Thanks for watching.
Hi Tom, the brake and clutch fluid flush I carried out on my Tenere went really well thanks to you and your video. If you get round to flushing your XT1200's radiator could you make a video of the procedure please. It looks simple apart from removing the top up bottle which seems very fiddly. Best Regards
Man I'm glad you tackled the clutch at the end. It inspired me to do it today after I finished the brakes (otherwise I probably would not have). The fluid was rank! I don't think it had ever been changed by the previous owner. I cycled fresh LiquiMoly DOT-4 through the clutch circuit 10 times. It made a huge difference. So, thanks!
I like to hear that my videos are helping people out. Also good to hear that another Tenere is getting maintained. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing this....very helpful video on all points. I had never heard of JIS screwdrivers before seeing this.
I ended up misplacing my beloved JIS screwdriver and had to immediately order a new one. Happy to hear that you gained some knowledge, pass it on.
Appreciate the helpful videos for other riders. Just subscribed...
That’s why I make them!
Well hello Tom's Tinkering and Adventures! Glad to have another wonderful video to watch. Also.....FIRST!
Aaron’s Adventures and Tinkering don’t you have a country to defend?
Very good job Tom,, that's right let's make Tom a big youtuber.. he will make it right come on the guy can cook and work on what ever and take you on a trip.. thanks for your time Tom..
Tom smales thank you sir, I do have a variety of interests. Not sure how big I wanna get, but if I can help people and they enjoy watching videos then I am here!
Great tip on the jis a lot of people don’t know about that
I sure didn't for many years. Once someone told me about it, I still took a while to get a JIS driver. It makes a huge difference, if you're working on Japanese manufactured motorcycles or cars you NEED a set in your tool box.
Just what I was looking for. Own a ST myself and the brake fluid is color is black. Now that I am home on furlough, I thought I am going to tackle this job. Was concerned on how to handle the ABS, but it looks straight forward. Thank you for putting this on CZcams.
Allon Mor you’re welcome, let me know how it turns out.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures , everything went fine till I also decided to bleed the clutch. I also used a Mityvac , but I think I got air inside , since the reservoir is so small compared to the brakes.
Allon Mor yes, it’s very difficult on the clutch. Probably reverse bleed is better.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures I got the air out of the clutch system the regular way pulling on the clutch lever. I think I had to do it 3-4 times to get the air out completely. I do not recommend using the Mityvac on the clutch. The reservoir is just too small for that.
BTW, How do you like the Seat Concepts seat? I have a Sargent seat and I don't think it's more comfortable for me than the stock seat. I have had and still have Sargents on some other bikes and it worked great but not on the ST for me.
Doesn’t look so hard after all, thanks for making the video from Suffolk UK
Pretty simple once you know the trick for the ABS. Thanks for watching.
Tom's Tinkering and Adventures the ABS bleed worked perfectly, you seemed to be as pleased as I was for you. Thanks for taking the time to show us how it works
Nice job. I think you get a lot better flush that way. I skid my tires a lot just to cycle it.
I really don’t engage the ABS much during regular riding but I probably should intentionally do it just to exercise the system. Thanks for watching.
Love all the vids Tom but please try to lower the sound on your lead in. Your Griffin Observatory you are outside and low volume but your happy intro is on 11. Just turned on notifications as I missed your last few. Catching up today
Truth Only thanks for the input. I’m not the best at editing but with some positive guidance like this I can put some more effort in it. Thanks for watching!
Great info for a first time ABS Flush 👍.
I'll be doing this in the near future.
A friendly suggestion,,
🤔maybe a clip on microphone and a cheap tripod 😉👍?
I always value input on my channel. I have wanted a microphone for a while, have not found a decent and affordable one that is wireless. I will keep looking. I do have a few tripods/stands but they are not always conducive for working on things. I just need a camera person! Thanks for watching.
Careful when pulling in the brake! I messed up and got brake fluid everywhere before lol
Aaron’s Adventures and Tinkering what??!! How would that happen? 😂
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures 🤷♂️😢
THanks so much ..i try ..i have a probleme ..my rear break pedal is too soft ..even if i purge , soo i look your systheme to purge input , with this abs pump ..or not output ...pumping on the pedal ..sorry for my bad frenchy english .. my bee change the kit of brake master cylinder if the seals are tired ....
Oui, try the brake flush first. Lots of people end up with back brake issues on these bikes. Au revoir!
Great video. Question, I had my throttle bodies synced at cruising RPM’s in stead of idle. I have a vibration in the shifter side foot pegs. Have you run into any problems with vibration in that side foot pegs. Everything is tight so thought I would see if you have experienced or heard of something like that. Thanks
J W no, haven’t heard of that. Only ever synced carbs/throttle bodies at idle. Hope you get it figured out.
Had to use the Red Neck hack for ABS pump as my 2017 model has the starter button as part of the kill switch! 😢
Oh yeah, they changed that on the gen 2 models.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures fiddling I managed to do it! 😃 Not sure how entirely, but had kill switch on, turned on ignition, put both brakes on and held them, then put kill switch to run position. Not sure if I put kill switch to off again but pump started on hand brake then foot then stopped! So it is possible, I called it a day then and stopped while I was ahead. 😆
Looking for an ABS hack on my KTM. I have about 1500 more miles before I do the 9K service. The rear fluid looks like a nice espresso blend.
azdesertdog I have to look up KTM stuff too, a buddy wants me to do some service and I don’t know if I need an interface to reset maintenance minders?
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures nope you can reset them in the controls. What type of display? TFT or LED?
azdesertdog I don’t know, can’t remember if he said 1190 or 1290. Guess I’m gonna learn!
So another way to bleed the ABS system, after you do a primary rear and front refreshment fluid is to go for a little ride and make the abs jump?? Like doing hard extreme brake uses so that the fluid ínside the abs pump runs??Or just using the brakes on gravel por so...Maybe three or four times I guess will be enough to make that fluid come out of the abs pump. And of course again drain and bleed front and rear brakes, adding fluid to get the leve...Is that right amigo??? Ha,ha!Thank's so much buddy...Cheers from Segovia mountains in Spain...
Andrés Alaskeño that’s what I have heard. It was quite easy to do the jumper wire trick so I didn’t try it. Maybe next time. Ride safely!
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Thank's buddy, I'll try it! Drive safe and have fun you too!
Wish I knew why I can not get the front brakes to bleed at all. Replaced the front master cylinder guts and that is primed, but front brakes will neither bleed normally or with vacuum kit.
Did you bench bleed the master cylinder? You can probably find a video about that, could help.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Not on the bench. But will do it again on the bike without the brake hose. I fear there may be another blockage in the hose or farther down. I want to bleed the entire system. I've bled motorcycle brakes for decades, but never with ABS. So don't know why I would need to bench bleed the master. Just bench tested the master cylinder and it works fine. Now to look for a blockage, I guess.
@@Buck1954 sometimes they get air locked. You can try reverse bleeding it too, push fluid up through the bleeder valve into the master cylinder.
So did all the ABS lines get flushed with new oil?
That’s what is supposed to happen when you cycle the pump I guess. Brake fluid is cheap enough, you can do this often.
Hi Tom, just stumbled across your channel, good stuff man! ... I have somewhat a similar idea as you. I just started my channel recently. How long have you had this channel? I look forward to seeing more of your videos and you don't have to question my sanity, I subscribed :) I'd appreciate the same if you'd be so kind. See you around the Tube!
Thanks, I will take a look. I like hearing that the videos are helping people.
This was both very informative and a little freaky. First I saw the Navy flag and though, "Fellow squid?" Then I saw your bike and thought, "Huh, same color, what a coincidence." But then I saw the exact same... I mean EXACT same gun lock under your seat and I thought "Now that's just freaky. I use that same lock for my helmet lock." Either great minds think alike or the government has succeeded in brainwashing us.
Those gun locks work great for helmets, jackets, whatever. Maybe our paths crossed somewhere in the Navy.
