Need some help regarding bleeding the front brakes on a 2017 CB1100EX. Wanted to change out the old brake fluid. Tried using the typical manual method (open bleed screw, pull brake lever, watch fluid come out bleed screw, close bleed screws, release brake lever, repeat).

The problem I encounter was:
After two or three repetitions, the lever could become stiffer (with the bleed screw open) and finally would not move. No fluid could come out the bleed screw. Seems like something in the ABS module would not let the fluid move to the caliper.

Thanks,
Mitch
I see you’ve seen the other thread on this, so I won’t point you at it. Good luck!
