Switching brake fluids.
I'm working on a brake upgrade for the R. So far, I've installed a fresh set of rotors, new OEM pads, and StopTech braided brake lines. I have to say, the StopTech lines are a night and day difference when compared to OEM brake lines. You guys have to get these lines
Next in my to-do is upgrading the fluid and dropping some better pads, I'm thinking Cobalts, EBC, or Axxis.
Here's the catch, I need to upgrade to Motul RBF600 brake fluid which we all know is NOT cheap. Considering that what I want to do is completely flush out my old fluid and replace with Motul, plus the bleeding process, what's the easiest way to do this ?? Is there a writeup somewhere ?? Does anyone know how much fluid I will need ??
I'll have pics of the brake lines up shortly for you guys to see
I love these things !!

Yup, I saw this writeup.. pretty nice work.. So what you're saying is that the way to replace the fluid is by having the "new" stuff push out the "old" stuff ?? Is there no "empty out old stuff, put in new stuff" method to this ??

Not really, no. You generally don't want the system "empty", as this would obviously introduce air (and possibly moisture) into it. As .RJ mentioned in that thread, there are devices available that are intended to expedite the fluid changing or bleeding process, but the method he described is simple, inexpensive, and it works.
