Brembo here...

Tomorrow, along with a special pipe, a banjo with a brake switch in it..

Never done brakes on a bike like this before, so i'm thinking change the
fluid (whats the best way) cleanup the calipers.

Any tips from you nice folks?

The Gunson's pressure bleeder is my current weapon of choice for
changing brake fluid. Much better than the mityvac. More risk of
spilling fluid though...

The only thing I'd add to the above is if caliper pistons are stuck that
holding the free ones in place with G clamps and sturdy tyre levers is
my method of choice. If pistons are stuck and don't free up easily,
unfortunately what I *think* happens is brake fluid gets behind the
seals and then dries out, pushing the seals out and jamming the pistons.
Only solution is a complete strip down. Not a difficult job but
probably half a day if you've not done it before and things are jammed.

 

Don't let any small children with WD40 near.

 

Cheers, i have one of those bleeders like a non return valve, should do the
job.

I'm quite looking forward to doing it now.

It'll work better if you fill it with brake fluid rather than jizz.
