FZ1 2nd Generation Brakes upgrade

[Gnasher]

I have had to do it twice on the 1250 and once on the 1200, both which had ABS. Both times I was doing a caliper or MC service that meant draining the system. And each time the system would never fully bleed and I always had a soft lever.

- 1200 took 2 days, so Sunday night, monday during the day while at work then again when I got home, and then it was perfect on Tuesday morning.
- 1250, last time was for a full caliper service  - rode the bike home during the week, pumped & tied back over night (then didn't ride the bike for a days, covid lockdown), then when when I rode it the next time the brakes were solid and sharp with hardly any lever movement (almost like new)
The 1250 atm is almost as sharp as the FZS, I replaced all old oem hoses with a braided HeL hose kit when I first bought the bike. that and having all 8 pistons moving massively helps with feel & power.

Much depends on the type of pump and the pluming, some ABS units have bleed nipples on them as trapped air can be a real issue.  Glad you got yours sorted the old way mate
