Seems simple, tried it today on my Hypermotard rear brake since it he position the caliper is mounted doesn't work for a regular bleed. I wasn't really able to get and fluid back to the master reservoir. Not sure if I just needed more pressure, but after blowing the hose off with a zip tie and feeling it expand with pressure while holding it on, I gotta assume I'm doing something wrong. Is this just not possible with ABS, I've reverse bleed the clutch on my KTM 950 with no issues so I'm stumped.
 
I also recently bled the rear brake fluid on my Duc, I had to unmount the caliper and remount it in such a way that it would be mounted at its highest point. It’s a choir because I had to unmount the rear wheel. Could be the ABS?
 
Yeah, I'm aware that method works, I just don't have the means to remove the wheel currently, I was hoping a reverse bleed would do the tick but it did not 🤦‍♂️
