Hi guys,

quick question, how much brake fluid will I need to fill the system in the s2k if I flush it and fill it up with Motul 5.1?

Thank you,

 

You can do it with less than 1 liter, if you're careful and stop bleeding individual brakes right when you start getting the new fluid at the bleed screw. But to be safe and in case you over-bleed, you should have 2 liters on hand. You'll want that extra liter for additions in the future anyway.

You should consider the ATE SuperBlue fluid. It's very easy to see when you've got the old fluid out when you swap between the stock fluid and SuperBlue and then back to the amber colored ATE fluid.

 

That's what I did. The ATE blue really makes it easy to see clean, clear fluid. Also, it was the first time I ever did it, so I gave quite a few pumps, just to be sure (7 or 8 after I had clear blue fluid). I basically used the whole liter, had a little bit left. If I need to bleed again, I'm sure I'll be opening the 2nd liter. Anyway, I'd get two, just in case.

 

one liter is easy. just did this last weekend. using a quarter liter per caliper practically guarantees clean fluid.

Out of curiosity...Why do you need to switch back to the amber? Is the blue inadequate for some street aplications?

[B] Except for color, amber and blue ATE have the same specifications.

 

I've never had any problem doing a complete flush with a 1 liter bottle.

 

Thanks for all the info guys.
