BMW R1200GS Adventure ABS Brake Flush (with Hexcode GS911) & Speed Bleeder Installation - Part 1

Great video...well done, thank you.

1. How do you check the ABS break fluid level?
2. When bleeding via the GS-911WIFI, you leave the speed bleeders closed? If so, how is the break fluid being pumped to be bled?!

SUPER GOOD REVIEW... PRO ONE.
I HAVE GS 2018.. AND WITH YOU R VERY GOOD REVIEW I M GONNA DO MY SELF THE BRAKE MAINTENANCE.
THANK YOU SIR 👍👍👍

Thanks for posting...a job I have never been happy with but after watching and with a very clear commentary I will now do it....Grant ...England

Superb, thank you.

Respectfully suggest you do NOT let reservoir get empty when flushing, that is refill reservoir when there is still a little fluid left in the bottom. Otherwise you suck air into the brake line, which is why you had lots of air bubbles in the hose on one of the bleed valves. Otherwise excellent.

What Are the part Numbers to the bleeders.

Thanks or taking the time for an awesome shop video !!!

What a brilliant video. Thanks so much for sharing ,👍

Great Video, I do have a GS911 and have just ordered the speed bleeders, Your video really did confirm my thoughts on how it should be done, always good to have a second opinion. Thanks for the video , will check out others you have posted.

question here: I have a 2018 R1200R - can this be done without the GS-911? what is its role here?

I’m glad I ride a Harley, all I did was a vacuum flush and I was done ✅

Thanks so much for making this video. A couple of days ago I purchased a 2007 BMW F650GS as my first bike. It has less than 1200 miles on it. The bike was well cared for and looks like new. I'm planning to replace the battery, tires, and all of the fluids. This video will be very helpful. Thanks again and take care.

Great video thank you so much. My 750GSs is close to one year 6k miles need to do break fluid flush. This is really helpful. Could you clarify below

1. Did you leave the Speed Bleeder on the bike or put back the factory one ?
2. During the Bleed test from GS11 , were you bolding front and rear breaks for 2 secs at the same time ? or you did front first and then rear

What size and thread speed bleeder do you use?

Awesome vid👍 I ordered.5 litres of new brake fluid...is that enough for the job and after doing the mechanical bleed do I need to make sure the reservoir is full before the ABS flush? Thx

Πολύ ωραίο και έξυπνο μπράβο !!!

Is this process the exact same for the R nine T?

I think 3 times bleeding's mean for each brake caliper one time

Nice to see the Polish name.

So if i can't get gs911 device what i can do

Shouldn't you start bleeding from the farthest point to from the master cylinder, that is from the rear wheel?

911 in the wishing list. In theory, can thus be done by bleeding brakes, then riding and activating servo brakes, the bleed brake again at home, the ride and activate brakes, then bleed at home once again?

Holy cow get to the point for god sakes

I think you should have bled the left caliper first

Do you have to use the gs911 after installing speed bleeders?

I am recently want to change the brake line on my kawasaki. But I am confusing is the software only required with BMW bike ? or I have to flushing my abs with this software as well ? Hope you can help me out Thank you

Hi there, great Video!!! Any idea if the speed bleeder size for a 2017 GS is the same?

How did you determine the Speed Bleeder sizes? Would it be the same on a 2019 1250?

Hi I just got the item from speed bleeder same products as u mention. But now just realise that I order wrongly for the front caliber. As yours front was brembo while mine was Bmw. Will it Able to fit on & used? Back caliber was the same brand brembo.

Hi. Thanks for good video. Please let me know why you are not opening screws bleeders when you running ABS-pump? With screw bleeders closed, what is the point? When you open the screws and pressing brake levers with ABS pump running oil will contunue run throw the system or am I wrong? Have a nice one. Regards from Sweden.

Is this the same bleeding procedure for a 2008 r1200rt? .Mahalo in advance !! Aloha

don't know if i am a bit thick but what is wrong with just bleeding through as normal having first taken as much fluid out of reservoirs ??

Is the same process when you chance the mineral fluid from the clutch too ? Thanks

Thank you. That was very useful. A minor point of good practice. If you can use a ring spanner over an open ended, do :)

I was taught to always bleed the caliper that is furthest from the reservoir first. Thoughts?

There’s no need to buy brake cleaner. Brake fluid is water soluble…

Don't forget about bleeding the clutch, that fluid can also degrade just as the brakes. I did see they have mineral oil if I am not mistaken and I am not sure if that affects the bleeding schedule of the clutch, but probably a good idea to do when you are doing the brakes.

You have provided useful content, thanks. I am preparing to do this to my 2022 Triumph T100.

Thanks!

Excellent video!! Nice clear sound, good pace and very thorough!

I was considering purchasing a GS 911, but I couldn’t justify the $400 price tag.

Thank you. It is best practice to start bleeding the calliper furthest from the master cylinder first. i.e. left side. Also best practice to use the ring spanner where possible, not the open ended.

I have the same bike but it shows different model belldes for the two from calipers, I see you have two in a package there. Here's what I get from their sizing chart:

R1200GSW ADV 14-17

SB8125L right

SB6100 left

SB1010 Rear

Just wondering like Ive done on other bikes with abs , do your flush then ride motorcycle and activate your abs numerous times then reflush system?

Is there a reason why you don’t have both calipers hooked up to the bags with the speed bleeders open when you pump the brakes?

As a bm mech 20yrs this abs operation is a pointless exercise, although the gs911 is handy.

Hello, do you have to activate ABS for each caliper when flushing brake fluid?

Is the Amsoil oil brake fluid any good? Great video and thanks for the help
