Mixr, Thanks for the post. I think I will be all right it is just a small amount of missing material. I did notice the level in the reservoir didn't increase when I pushed the pistons back.... I have ABS on this machine and I am now thinking the fluid must go back into the ABS pressure modulator and...

OK, I pulled my rear wheel to get a new tire put on it and of course I had to pull the rear caliper. I examined the pads and they are very thin... need new ones. I know the new pads will mean I have to push back the pistons and fluid will rise (overflow) in the reservoir, so I poured out about half ...

I think you are correct about the calipers, thats probably where I screwed up... I searched for a leak and did not find one. I see what you mean about the quick disconnect problem...I guess the plastic becomes brittle after time....you would think this would have been an obvious issue for the engine...

GEEZE, I don't know how I did this but the front wheel circuit reservoir is overfilled and the rear wheel reservoir is definitely low. I will search for any kind of leaks for the rear. Disappointing that I caused this. Another problem has (of course!) presented itself, when I disconnected the fuel l...

I have probably ridden the bike 15 times since I did the brake service. Everything seems normal, all the correct squeals and such. I am positive that I have messed up the service.... now that I have had time to ponder all of the input. I will pull the tank and see what's up. I read something just a ...

Just returned from Bob's. Tech said that I probably over filled the resevoir and that other than the bike falling over this was the only thing that could cause this.... I mentioned the flashing lights and he said that too much pressure could cause the warning, I guess too much fluid means too much p...

Guess I should have mentioned its a 2002, R1150R, about 35K miles with ABS. The fault code in the owners manual says it could be low fluid. The tech at Bob's BMW says that I probably have an ABS problem but that the brakes will still work....they do. IT is brake fluid coming out of one of the three ...

I am new to the forum, seems to be a lot of good info here! My wife and I started out on a leisurely ride today only to get 2 miles from our house and I noticed the brake warning lights were alternately flashing. I returned to my garage and checked things out. Brake fluid is dripping out of the vent...
