These can be real buggers at times to bleed. :rolleyes That said it's not just the hydraulics that can be the issue, the system has a hydraulic unit (pump) which requires voltage and is linked to sensors, these also need testing once you've bleed the system, there is 2 tests that must be preformed.
The unit can and does fail, mostly due to owners messing about with them, oddly enough trying to bleed them :rolleyes they can also suffer wiring/connection issues. They're bleed in much the same way as standard system, only there's a lot more areas where air locks can form.
There is no fast way of doing it, in fact speed is enemy with ABS. I work on bikes all the time and it can on occasion take many hrs to get them to bleed.
Slow and methodical is the approach, or take it to someone who can.
