I'm seeking some pointers on this, as the dealer wants over $200 to change the brake and clutch fluids on my 2012 C14, and there's no way I can justify paying that much for what has to be a fairly simple job. That being said, I've never tried to tackle bleeding brakes or a clutch before. Any tips, pointers, or suggestions for how to do this?
I'd guess I need a small box-end wrench for the bleed points, some clear tubing (or a MityVac) and the aforementioned Dot-4 brake fluid. With the newer linked ABS on this bike though, I wasn't sure if there's anything else I need to do.
As for the clutch, it seems fairly straightforward, but I've never changed hydraulic clutch fluid before, so not sure if there's a specific technique, or if I should just crack the bleeder bolt, squeeze some out, pour fresh in, lather rinse repeat until no bubbles show.
Bike has just over 37k miles on it now. Planning on doing this work at 40k (so in about 2-3 weeks time.)
