Just completed fork seal change, and waiting for my road pilot3 tyres to arrive. While the bike is all over my shed, I thing a brake fluid change would be a good idea.
Anybody have a nice routine documented..with pictures??
The manual for K series is a bit useless for my K1100rs..
And while I am at it advice on coolant change would nice Very Happy

AMSOIL DOT 4 only ... and btw should bleed brakes evey two years.. DOT4 is very if not super hydroscopic. it call pull moisture in through the rubber seals .
