Hello Jim!
I have measured the pistons for you, and the diameter is 30 mm. The calipers
have 6 (six!) bleeder valves...only God knows in which order I should bleed
this system... Don't really need to - just want to change the fluid. Any
hints?

You are probably right about the safety thing. It seems to be a full
triangular split system just as on the Volvo. The MC is special on this
model.
See excellent scheme from Dave Hall, publiced by Greg, on this page:
