Not sure what my brakes are like either *ponders*

the calipers on the GPx are among the easy ones to flush and bleed
you can do this as a one person operation
(I did it myself b4 the PI Track Day)
some tricks...
for the fronts, make sure the master cylinder is level..tilt the bars until so
and then make sure, the level does not fall too far, as you bleed/flush 'em
then (with a piece of clear tube into a container)
as you squeeze the lever, slowly open the bleed nipple
some resistance should be felt as you squeeze the lever
and the fluid comes out the bleed nipple (probably black and with bubbles in it
)
it is a bit of a black art, but you will get the hang of it
the multipot caliper on the GPx is not a problem
as the bleed nipple is at the the top of the caliper, away from the hose
