I went to change my brake fluid today and like a fool i used the lower bleed nipple, after a few mins of head scratching i realised what i had done. Now im concerned i have introduced some air into this!

I need to know how to bleed the combi brake now! I can see the reservoir to the right of the dash so i guess ill have to take a load of plastics off to get at it?

Hopefully someone can help so i dont have to get ripped off by a dealer to bleed it!

You have to remove the windshield and the instrument cover underneath it to access the reservoir for the CBS. Luckily, that's only two panels and not the whole bike. ;)

The CBS shares components with the front brake since they're linked at the front caliper, but the hydraulics are totally separate.

If you hate the CBS, you've just converted your brakes into a front brake and a rear brake, eliminating the CBS. :P

Hahaha, very true!

Not sure the combi brake is really needed, much like the idle stop. Might just leave it as is because im sick to death of removing any plastics from the bike!
