Dears,

did try to search here and on other guzzi forums, but no dedicated and full topic found. Can anyone please describe the steb-by-step procedure for the brake-fluid change in the ABS-equipped 1200 Sport MG? or at least, what to pay attention to because of ABS?

Having had an ABS-ed BMW earlier I remember it required dismounting half of the bike..
Thanks a lot in advance!
Alex

not a single hint... if I do it, and do wrong, and kill myself, I'll post you from hell about the mistake I made :)
guys, please, don't let it happen, my 2 daughters will not get the gag
my closest MG service is thousands km away, and I hope to not have to go to BMW for brake fluid change, and make them feel wrong (you know what I mean, when I show 12S to a BMW addict he always tries to find BMW parts on my 12S to justify the fact that the 12S is a gorgeous bike a beemer will never get close to)
help please, there are only 2-3 weekends left till it melts, and I wanna break :) .... free??? :huh:

Download the Norge service manual from this site (downloads). The section on the braking system does not give any special procedure to "purge" the braking system unlike the BMW system. I would then presume the method used is the same as any non ABS system. Just be really careful not to allow any air to get into the system.

Bill,

I thought Wayne took all your tools away. Less problems for him that way.

You know, John, good thing I am an insensitive lout as otherwise that would make me cry. :laugh:

Seriously, I can actually change my own oil, adjust the valves, and do one or two very minor things on the Guzzis, but that's about it ... but it is a good thing to know one's limits. Every time I remove the tupperware on the Norge to do something I probably did not need to do, I always have a few fasteners left over. I claim spontaneous and sympathetic generation, as nothing has fallen off ... but ... :woohoo:

I am going to try the brake-fluid swap, tho, so pray for me. :whistle:
