    2017 onwards bleed procedure is straight forward - conventional bleed.

    Cheers,

    I did my 2017 blade, and its straight forward. Put rags everywhere to catch any stray drops of brake fluid.

    I got a good tip: use a tie wrap to hold the brake lever closed overnight. It allows any trapped bubbles to come up with teh system under pressure. Makes no sense.. but it worked on mine!!

    I found the rear brake fluid was much worse that the front!
