Hi Brad

they want you to bleed the brakes due to the duel circuit setup.

the circuits are setup so you have FL with RR and FR with RL.

If one of these lines break, you would still have 50% of the total breaking power.

They use to make lines so that front and back where on different circuits.

When the back break goes out, its not much of a problem since the front brakes do 80%+ of the braking... but when the front brakes go out, people are in trouble.

So they did the split circuit.

depending on the paint, I would be very very very careful when you bleed the system. make sure not to get any brake fluid on the paint or the BF will lift off the paint quickly.

Use a tube to redirect the brake fluid into a bottle. Also wrap rags around the nipple so if BF does leak out, the rag gets most of it.
