De-linked, is that possible? I've kept bikes with linked brakes off of my "next bike" list, BMWs for instance.
How is this done? Is it mostly a matter of different and/or eliminating brake lines?

My current 06 FJR is linked ABS.  It is the first bike in 40+ years of riding that had either.  If I had my way prior to this bike, I would NOT have either.  A friend on a BMW lamented having to get linked ABS when his R1200RT got totaled and was replaced by a newer model.  Heard lots of bad stories about it too.  Don't know about the latest BMW's or VFR's but Yamaha has got this brake stuff nailed on the FJR.  I may have a pain with either speedbleeders or MV's but it sure will be worth it.

I use neither.

I use an old gallon plastic milk jug. Drink the milk first then rinse the jug. Poke a hole at the neck of the jug that will securely hold a piece of rubber tubing. Insert the tubing into the jug to near the bottom of the jug. Insert your shop vac into the neck. Place the tubing onto the bleeder and turn on the vac. The jug will collapse but don't worry.

Crack the bleeder while you observe the fluid level in the reservoir. Keep topping up the fluid level so as not to run dry. Once the fluid comes out clean, snug the bleeder. You’re done. Discard the jug and contents responsibly.
