Default Bleeding abs brakes front 2012

I just changed my calipers to chrome ones and bleed the system as usual. Is there anything special I need to do.? Still mushy.

Thanks

Put speed bleeders in...use a syringe to start the fluid..the SB will do the rest.

Nothing special but DONT start the bike until you get all the air out. If you do, you may get air in the module. Then, it's off to the dealer you go...

+1 on the speed bleeders. I have used them for awhile now, makes brake bleeding for one guy almost fool proof. Do NOT turn ignition on until air is out and not mushy.
