Do we have a good tutorial that shows an old fart how to change the brake oil in these spaceships?
I have never done it myself;) yes at least I have the balls to confess! Was thinking about the abs unit etc...
Was planning to start the vacuum pump on the furthest nipple away from master cylinder caliper and go from there to get the new oil into the reservoar.
But what can be better than asking the pros??

Do you use RBF700 oil nowadays?
 
What a lucky thing you guys did understand even my Swenglish was a bit bad;)
So it seems lika a normal procedure, and nothing special with the abs unit as far as it seems.
 
To flush out the old fluid all you will do is open the bleeder, squeeze the lever and close the bleeder before getting to the end of the lever’s stroke. Repeat until the old fluid is almost all the way out of the reservoir. Refill and repeat until you get all of the old fluid out of the reservoir, master and line leading to the right caliper. Then move to the left caliper. There is less old fluid here, because it’s only the fluid that’s in the line between the two calipers and within the caliper.

Don’t let the reservoir go completely dry and suck air into it.
 
I use something like this:
OEMTOOLS-24937-Pneumatic-Manual-Fluid-Extractor-1-5-Gallon-6L-Oil-Extractor-Oil-Change-Pump-Automotive-Oil-Extractor-Pump-Oil-Pump-Extractor_59559f20-f220-40b7-853c-d36c4474187c.1719eb6f9f2a7c649c7ba85e9810232a.jpeg


You cant really go wrong, connect the pump to the nipple on the caliper, pump it up to get some vacuum and open the nipple and pour the fluid in the reservoir and squeeze the lever a few times. Use plenty of rags to protect the paintwork

Click to expand...

to pump fluid in abs unit, so put the bike in Rain/Wet mode and try to engage abs on road to cycle the fluid.
