Motive works fine. You'll need a tool like a iCarSoft to cycle the ABS though.

FWIW, brake fluid is pretty stable, unless its in the caliper, where its subjected to a lot of heat. I find that periodic bleeding of each caliper (say 50-60 seconds of being pushed out by the Motive) and no bubbles coming out, is all you need to do. Plus, after 3 or 4 caliper bleeds, you've effectively flushed the entire system. Unless you've inadvertently introduced air at the master cylinder, or otherwise are having weird behavior with the brakes, the ABS should be fine without cycling. I typically try to bleed calipers before each track event.

Remove the fluid from the reservoir first. It has the highest moisture contamination. Replace with fresh fluid before pushing it through the system.

Thanks for the tips, I feel more confident doing this now. Does not look to be to difficult. Will remove fluid from master cylinder and go slow. Thanks
