Flushing ABS brake lines.

    I have been slowly working on my n-t-m '93 w/ ABS.
Am in the process of replacing the brake lines w/ SS (and blue dots on the front).
Have never worked on a motorcycle w/ ABS before.
When filling the lines, are there any tips which facilitate the process (already did a Google fjowners.com search, didn't see any pertinent responses).
Don't want to damage the pump.
Recently picked up a Gen III FJR (w/ ABS) and there is no comparing the difference in braking between my XJ's (SS lines, new disc/pads) and the FJR. Some of the difference is apples and oranges, a lot of it is the ABS.  I feel safer braking aggressively on iffy surfaces.
  Picked up the test relay from the fjowners club to test the system, and it's working. Don't want to mess the pump up, myself.

W/ the XJ's, best results (after rebuilding the caliper seals and mc) is to fill from the bottom w/ a syringe connected to the bleeder and use a palm sander to vibrate the calipers/lines while pushing the syringe plunger..  Okay with ABS?
