I wasn't aware of the importance of flushing brakes/clutch until the discussions here started about such things last year. It is currently on the top of my list of important things to do. But you are right that I am not comfortable doing it myself because it has the potential to be extremely dangerous. If it was something I had done before, then I probably would. I have just been waiting for my mechanic friend to finish moving and decent weather to return. I don't want the dealer touching my bike if it can be avoided.... although since I have to get new tires mounted soon, and that is something I pretty much have to get the dealer to do, I might go ahead and throw in the flushing.
Oh, I forgot one....spilled brake fluid on bike. Been there, done that, looking for the t-shirt.used the t shirt to wipe up the brake fluid
So I am guessing you just keep adding fluid and pumping fluid out through one bleeder ( with hose in fluid so no air backs up into system) and when that is clear you move to the other bleeder which should not take much more.

It's really hard to screw up a brake flush/fill. For the most part the only thing that you have to watch out for is spilling brake fluid on your paint. Other than that, it's air in the lines. If that happens the air can be purged.
Suck as much of the old fluid out as you can
Suck as much of the old fluid out as you can without allowing air to reach the port. Try to get any crap out of the bottom of the reservoir while you're at it but be sure not to let air near the port. Now fill with fresh fluid and flush with your preferred method. Try to keep the reservoir covered while you're flushing if you can and be sure to add fluid as needed.
