[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1461640, member: 19880"] I have probably done brake fluid flush 20+ times on bikes with ABS and only the last two times have I used the jumper to activate the ABS pump to (hopefully) move that fluid along. I do, however, make a point to exercise the ABS from time-to-time while riding. Practice makes perfect - good to be comfortable with the ABS so you aren't taken by surprise in a real life situation. Asphalt or concrete parking lot with sand on the surface is ideal. Also prevents stagnant fluid in the ABS unit and gives the rider assurance that the system is working as it should under controlled conditions. (This is especially important with Gen I ABS bikes and early Gen II - early version prone to failure if not used regularly) Do it whether or not you use the jumper during fluid change. I agree that it is a good idea to do the jumper method but probably not critical if you take steps to make sure that fluid within the ABS gets refreshed from time to time. [/QUOTE]
