When I changed out the brake fluid in mine I did it the old fashion way:
squeeze brake while cracking bleeder, tighten bleeder before releasing
brake. Worked just fine. Used alittle more fluid because I didn''t drain
the fluid but it didn't introduce air in the lines. I just simply added
more new fluid as the old was bled off. Eventually the new replaced the
old. Not much of a big deal in a bike because the resevoir is smaller than
a cars.
