I just flushed mine. To activate the abs, all I did was back up to one end of the garage and give er shit half way across then jump on the front brake hard. I did it 5 or 6 times and you can see by the skid marks that the abs is engaging.

I was surprised to find small rubber plugs in the connector. (Pushed two in trying to remove.) I assume these are to keep dirt and dust out. Will need to find the fine needle nose pliers...Kevhunts said:Jump the sky blue to black wires.

Just squeeze the tab on the side of the connector and pull the whole "plug" out of the end of the black connector. Then you can access the pins inside.holligl said:I was surprised to find small rubber plugs in the connector. (Pushed two in trying to remove.) I assume these are to keep dirt and dust out.

Read this after pulling the two round plugs and using the paper clip approach. Confirmed this approach works by running the test. Very quick and easy. (Easier than pushing the bike down the driveway!!) It runs the pulsations 2-3 seconds Front, then rear, then front again, so a good 6 seconds or so.Kevhunts said:Just squeeze the tab on the side of the connector and pull the whole "plug" out of the end of the black connector.

I jumped the two pins needed with a small alligator clip.
Thank you for the summary.holligl said:Read this after pulling the two round plugs and using the paper clip approach. Confirmed this approach works by running the test. Very quick and easy.

Summarized:
Up on Center stand.
Make sure the sidestand kill switch works.
Leave it in gear.
Make sure your battery is well charged.
Install the test adapter (Jump top two wires, Light Blue and Black) on the ABS test plug under the seat.
Confirm the side stand is down.
Ignition key ON (I waited for fuel pump to stop)
Press and hold the Starter Button for at least 4 seconds (doesn't start since it is in gear and sidestand is down)
Release the starter button.
After releasing the starter button, pull the front brake lever and press the rear brake pedal simultaneously and continue to hold both.
The front lever should pulsate for a few seconds, then the rear pedal will pulsate a few seconds, and then the front will pulsate again.
Release the brakes, ignition off, put it in neutral, remove the test adapter, etc....
What speed bleeders did you get and where? A local forum member has a mighty vac I am planning to borrow, but the speed bleeders may be another option for a few bucks...worncog said:Oh, I do have speed bleeders installed which makes life easier on periodic fluid changes.
Good point Eric. I found the clutch bleed not too bad using the speed bleeders. Just set up a trickle flow with brake fluid container, with small opposing holes in foil seal, tilted on reservoir and had a steady pattern of slow squeezes on the lever. slow squeezes as to keep the fluid from spitting out of reservoir. Highly recommend covering adjacent area with a large shop towel just in case. Wanted a really good flush considering my mc was on the verge of crapping itself. Will probably flush it more often after seeing the condition of the fluid.EricV said:Just remember that you can't vacuum bleed with Speed Bleeders in place. With the tiny volume of the clutch, it can be interesting to bleed with speed bleeders. Not as much of an issue with the brakes.
