Hi
Have had my TDM 900 for a few years now and found it was time to replace brake fluid.
But what's the best process for getting access to the read brake reservoir? Even checking the fluid level is rather cumbersome

I normally just unbolt the reservoir and swing it out when doing a fluid change. Easy enough to see from the left side peering across the bike with a torch to check the level without any messing about. Mine's a non ABS, so the ABS versions might be different.

No, they probably don't use the word "Res"
