First I've searched around for the answers to the few questions I have; if found the answers, I wouldn't be asking them here.
Since moving to Florida my Gen1 2005 ABS hasn't seen much use. I have recently found a group of riders where I live and have once again started riding on a more regular basis (yea I know enough with the BS).
The problem: the front master cylinder seal(s) have developed a leak. I bought the rebuilding kit and I'm ready to fix the problem.
Q1 Do the Gen1 have a linked ABS system? From what I can determine that only started on the Genll's (2006) ( for my info only)
Q2 All of the references to bleed the ABS brakes indicate that the right front caliper has 2 bleeders; mine only has one (yes it IS an ABS model so please don't say you don't have an ABS model, all of the ABS plumbing is there). I bought this "demo" bike from a dealer so the front calipers were not replaced by a third party with improper parts.
Q3 I'm guessing since the front calipers are the same and the fluid lines both come from the same block it doesn't matter which side I bleed first; correct?
In a few more weeks I'll have been on this forum 10 years! Thanks to the old school guys for all the help over the years.
