Scan tool needed to bleed brakes/abs

[Ic@ns33urhrt]

Going to be flushing brake fluid to Endless RF 650. I have read some conflicting information on whether to use scan tool for ABS. Is the scan tool needed? Any info would be appreciated. Any feedback on the Endless brake fluid is also welcome. Thanks.

Just a Motive pressure bleeder and adapter cap is all you need to flush the fluid. Since the pads aren’t being changed on the rear you won’t have an issue. I use the ’dry’ technique when using the pressure bleeder.

From my understanding you only need the scanner tool when replacing the rear brake pads, and thats only to put the E-brake in maintenance mode

The scanner is needed if you want to truly flush all of the fluid out. If you don't use the scanner to do the ABS bleed then the accumulator will still have the old fluid in it. FWIW, I'm a mechanic with a scanner and didn't bother to do the ABS bleed when I switched the fluid. Done a couple of track days and no fade.
