Hi all
I need to slacken off my front brake master cylinder banjo bolt to move the lever to a comfortable angle.
Just in case I get air into the system, has anyone bled one of these brakes with the ABS system?
In the past, I've never had problems bleeding brakes, but I've never done a bike with ABS. The brake hose doesn't just go from the master cylinder to the caliper, it goes to the ABS ECU, then to the caliper, so if air gets in at the master cylinder, in theory I'd have to drag it through the ecu and then to the caliper, which seems complicated.
The reason I need to move the banjo bolt is due to fitting flat handlebars on my Racer, and the lever is now at a strange angle. I'll have to grind off the small lug on the cylinder that prevents rotation of the brake hose when the banjo is tightened, then move the hose round a few degrees. Just before I get someone telling me I only need to slacken the 2 8mm bolts on the brake lever clamp!
Thnaks for any advice.
