    Hello everybody, I just wanted to flush the front brake on a new to me 2018 BMW G310R. Upon opening the reservoir, I discovered a white plastic button/valve. I've never seen something like this before, I'd assume it regulates the brake fluid flow towards the cylinder. As you can see, it is...

I'm happy to compensate you with $150 + full tank of gas, you...
