  • You only will need to bleed, if you open the system, e.g. to replace the cylinder.
    When you only change the brake pads, you are pushing the pistons back and thus, should keep an eye on the reservoir tank near the motor engine so that the brake liquid doesn’t spill over.
    However, every one or two years, you should also exchange the brake liquid. The liquid it is hygroscopic to avoid corosion in the system, but the water bounded by the liquid can create vapor bubbles if the liquid gets hot yielding to fading effectiveness of braking.
