@jaramharamharam - move your rear reservoir higher on the bike...to above the ABS unit. You can do that simply by attaching a long length of clear brake tubing in place of the reservoir. Physics works.
Yeah I read that in the thread, but not sure I understand. The ABS unit is tucked right above the shock. So remove the actual resevoir , and instead run a straight tube all the way up until it's higher than the ABS unit? Do you mind posting a picture if you have one? My thought was to just remove the damn ABS unit all together but worried that might intorduce other problems.@jaramharamharam - move your rear reservoir higher on the bike...to above the ABS unit.

Or you could do as I did on my TV.Yeah I read that in the thread, but not sure I understand. The ABS unit is tucked right above the shock.

I believe that the only thing that has changed, is that MV have installed bleed nipples on the ABS unit, to make bleeding easier.Has this issue been addressed in the new Euro 5 bikes ?
I did this to my euro4 bike, it really helps to bleed and replace brake fluid. In addition, I think Mv replaced the ABS Bosh 9 module with another brand.I believe that the only thing that has changed, is that MV have installed bleed nipples on the ABS unit, to make bleeding easier.
Pity just another band-aid.I believe that the only thing that has changed, is that MV have installed bleed nipples on the ABS unit, to make bleeding easier.
Funny! Didn't know this. We produce this very system in our plant in Mechelen. But not for MV, rather Triumph and BMW. However, I don't see the benefit regarding bleeding issues, if the positioning is still the same...Omg from the Mv website, B3800 RR model

Do you mean, the continental abs module ?Funny! Didn't know this. We produce this very system in our plant in Mechelen. But not for MV, rather Triumph and BMW. However, I don't see the benefit regarding bleeding issues, if the positioning is still the same...

All, I have confess that there are still issues even I used this weight over the winter period. During my first longer trip in June, I noticed that if I was not using rear brake some time, it was getting a slack (pedal was having longer travel to engage) which was getting away after first pedal stroke. It can't be air in the system when pedal is firm after this first pedal stroke. I'm getting feeling that there might be something in master cylinder itself. And I saw earlier comments that Aprilia is using similar arrangement with ABS-module and master/reservoir locations, without having issues. And it uses Brembo-master instead of Nissin.I have used now weight on the pedal when not driving, while bike sits in garage, since last August. And surprisingly when was driving now first time for long time after winter, pedal was firmer than ever. Extrmely nice to use, no need to bend your ankle in awkward angle. At least for me rear brake is essential while driving down tight turns in mountains or maneuvering in city. For me this is a solution, for the recreational usage of the bike.
There's roughly 1.5 ltr water / 1.5 kg.

So let's update this thread. After I originally posted this, I moved the master up behind the right side panel. I'm not sure if it's the highest point in the system but it's definitely higher than the ABS unit. The rear brake has been working great ever since.
I got 3 Italian bikes and only the RSV4 does not have the problem.I'm getting feeling that there might be something in master cylinder itself.
