There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Lift spyder off ground for access to left front plastic panel underneath spyder. Remove 3 plastic rivets and 1 torx head screw. Bleeder is on top of ABS unit

the bad news is to bleed that unit you need the BUDS system from BRP.

I performed the brake bleed using BUDS interface last week on my F3L. During the bleed process, buds cycles the ABS pump while MANUALLY pumping the brake pedal.
So, having said that……if one does NOT have BUDS, I think you can get away with bleeding the system……..accomplishing 90% flush. Something is better than nothing.

Hours and hours of posts available about bleeding brakes on this forum alone. Just about every brake bleeding theory seems to have been covered, like no bleeding calipers and just yearly replace fluid in the res ... to using BUDS ... to stomping the brakes on a rainy parking lot to activate, flush and dilute fluid in the ABS unit. It's all good as it's been a progression of knowledge over the years. The price of BUDS isn't horrible, a little pricey, but not as much as I thought it would be.

If BUDS is required to cycle the ABS pump to fully bleed the unit, what stops you from energizing the ABS pump manually by jumping the relay?

The VCM activates the solenoids in the ABS for each circuit of the brake system(each wheel), so, just energizing the ABS Motor does not accomplish bleed of each wheel circuit properly.
