Brake fluid is often ignored, but it is one of the most important safety maintenance jobs on your motorcycle. Old fluid absorbs moisture, reduces braking performance and can damage the ABS unit.
On this R1200GS I demonstrate:
How to protect your paintwork (brake fluid is aggressive!)
How to open the reservoir correctly
How to bleed the front calipers properly
The correct bleeding order
What fluid type to use (DOT 4 — always confirm in your manual)
When to stop bleeding
Safety checks before riding
This procedure applies to most BMW R1200GS 2004–2012 models (ABS equipped).
Always check your official service manual for torque specs and model-specific procedures.
🛠 Tools & Consumables Used
DOT 4 brake fluid (fresh, unopened bottle)
Brake bleeder hose + container

⚠️ Safety First
Keep the bike stable (center stand, level surface)
Protect tank and fairings from brake fluid
Never reuse old brake fluid
Test brake pressure before riding
Soft lever after bleeding? Do NOT ride until properly fixed.
