Two hydraulic circuits for '14 CB:
front brakes = brake lever, LF caliper, then RF..to be technically correct
rear brakes - brake pedal.
I use vacuum or pressure type bleeders.
First, suck out all the brake (or clutch) fluid, fill up again with fresh DOT4, then start bleeding while watching and topping up reservoir.
When completed, fluid level should equel original reservoir level (assuming there are no external leaks).
At home, I use my vacuum bleeder but one can do bleeding without it = conventional method...by pumping lever or pedal...
If using either one, vacuum or pressure bleeders, I keep pumping brakes at the same time, done thousand brake/clutch flashes on cars and my bikes.
General info: After flushing brakes, I energize ABS pump and repeat bleeding process again to get rid of 99.99% old fluid.
Hi Peter, yes, of course I checked the link / manual you sent me. (thanks again !) What concerns me is the way it is presented in the manual. The sketches shows the ABS modul(ator), but the text doesn't mention ABS at all. Just one procedure for all ... Sure this could be right, after all it's coming from Honda. But the manual does not distinguish between ABS models and non-ABS. I find this strange. Unless one might "want to" assume that all fluid switches (valves) inside the modulator are open when you turn the ignition off.
Could it simply be a problem with the manual ? I have found other problems in the manual (which often look like copy / paste), so it's hard to be sure.
If some forum member worked or still works in a Honda shop ... his insight might be very valuable.
