I Am Done With Triumph

[SparkyMan]

The problem is the 10K service requires bleeding the brakes and that requires Triumph's computer.

Vector,
I believe the dealer tool, or any other ECM interface such as tuneECU, is not required to either bleed, or change and bleed, one’s brake fluid. While I don’t know what year/model your bike is, I can’t imagine why the ECM would want to know anything about your brake fluid.
As I’m a curious sort, and always ready to learn something new, would you please explain how you’ve come to this understanding?
Thanks!

It is required to open or bypass the valves in the ABS module to properly flush the braking system.
Also to synchronize the throttle bodies for even fuel/air mixture.

ABS braking system requires the computer.

Well, in the end the math seems pretty simple to me, a 20k plus motorcycle and whether to invest in a few tools for a few hundred, go for the tools. I certainly understand wanting to stick with Macs, get a Bootcamp type program and use it. Or simply get a used limited PC with windows. The sticking point seems to be controlling the ABS valves. While my personal choice was to go for simplicity in a motorcycle, modern vehicles tend to be very computer centric. As long as access to tools is out there, I recommend just getting them and doing it yourself.
