BMW R1200GS LC [2014-] REAR BRAKE FLUID CHANGE. EASY...?

[@davidrivera1727]

Hello. I just adjusted my rear brake foot lever, now when I ride the rear brake gets really hot. When I put it on the center stand it spins freely, but when I ride it rear brake is grabbing when I use the front brake. Then I adjusted it, but it’s not quite right. Any suggestions? Thank you. David

I had that 1 time too on my son his s1000r. Give it more free play 😉

Is there a way to perform thiss without the electronic gizmo?

Hi Ed, you can just do a normal brake fluid renewal, BUT its better to activate the ABS pump too you know.

As I don't have access to the gs911, do you think a quick and dirty option might be locking up the brakes on gravel or dirt road? Please excuse my cheapness.

Without the gizmo first bleed the brakes then go for a ride on gravel or dirt taking time to activate the ABS then bleed the brakes again.

Easy my ass, not once did you show the calliper and how to actually change or adjust the oil or brakes...

Hi Paul you are right 😉 I already made a better video, but I have to edit it and upload it. So stay tuned 👍🏻👊🏻

I was a bit harsh, I'm frustrated in trying to adjust my brakes on my 2016 GSA, keep up the good work.
