I am about to change the brake fluid for some motul 600. I have never done this before. Is this method correct:

I bought a vaccum hand pump and using the bleed orifice on the caliper I was going to pump the existing fluid while toping off the reservoir with Motul fluid. After I'm done with one caliper, I would do the same with the three others. My question is, will I see a change in color (or another sign) in the pump hose telling me that I pumped all the used fluid ? or do I have to guesstimate that I am done ?

Is there a better easier way to do this without compremising the efficiency of the braking system (I do not went air pockets to form somewhere in the system).

 

ATE superblue...

 

DITTO!! followed next season by ATE superGOLD.....I'm amazed that this was the first company I've seen to solve this problem so easily!

 

I am not really looking for a different brake fluid. I'm changing from stock Honda fluid to Motul 600 (I already have a bottle ready to poor in) because I just upgraded my pads to Endless CC-X and I want to make sure the fluid is not the weak point.
My question is more regarding the method I am planning to use to change brake fluid. I want to make sure I do it right.

 

sounds like you are on target with your method....just keep letting the fluid go through each caliper until you see 2 things: (1) Gold fluid (2) NO bubbles. Good luck.

 

flush in this order in case you didn't have a manual - dr/front, pass/front, pass/rear, dr/rear.

Hope this helps. The first caliper will seem like it takes forever 'cause you are having to let the entire mastercylinder refill w/new fluid. Save time & pull some old fluid out of the MC with a good ol'turkey baster & fill w/Motul before you start. Just don't go below "MIN" on the MC.

 

Thanks. I will give it a go tonight then (if weather allows).

 

I always thought you were supposed to do the furthest from the MC first, and then work your way closer? P/R, D/R, P/F, D/F?

Also, what about the ABS?

 

I thought this was the correct way also?
(I don't have my Helm's infront of me right now. Maybe check the c-speedracing website)

 

I know the service manual says to start at the front left, then front right when bleeding the system. It should be the same when purging the system.

 

everyone's split on whether its closest or furthest from the MC...i just did it according to the helm's...(2001 R)

maybe it was cuz the ABS unit was changed from earlier models?
