Tiger 1050 Abs Bleeding Breaks

I was told by a Dealer mech, that it is not necessary to activate the ABS during bleed.

You can however ABS bleed on Android yourself using ;-
http://www.tuneecu.com/ on Android, ( the laptop one does not perform this function). The Android is avalible on Google Play.

The small amount of fluid in the ABS system that will be missed / left, in the system when the solenoid does not activate and will mix through by next bleeding anyway, is negligible, ( I was told).
I have heard if you get air through the system then you will need to activate the ABS solenoid to remove this, so be careful and keep your reservoir topped up.

 

You only need dealer bleeding if air gets in otherwise you can bleed as normal.

 

Another slightly more expensive option is DealerTool software which I use. The reason I bring it up, is that they have an ABS bleeding guide available at: http://dealertoolcouk.ipage.com/BrakeBleed.pdf
