How long is it taking you guys that have an ITM or scan tool to do the job at home?

1) flush the fluid as normal.
2) three panic stops that activate the ABS system.

4)Find more important things to worry about.

today it is hardly seen and the abs is just a bank of electrical solenoids and piston chambers that alter volume.
that said, IF you do it correctly, there is no need for any special tools, aka, no need to cycle it.
if i had a mc with abs, there are ways to drive the solenoids and a stealer will not get my money.

The Twin Scan 4 seems like a great value compared to other tools that are $1k+, that I most likely will never use most of the other functions. But I've been asking them since early 2021 when they will have an updated version available for the new bikes and they keep telling me to check back in a few months.

I'll give ITM a call and see if theirs is ready yet.

I haven't gotten a quote from the dealer yet and I'm not familiar with any local Indy shops. I like to do my own work. I'm not a fan of other people fingering my vehicles and ending up with scratches and brake fluid spilled on the paint, not to mention the question in my mind of if the work was done right or even done at all.

Again, not my claim, just repeating what I was told.
