Brake Bleeder
« on: July 05, 2009, 02:52:10 PM »
Does anyone know who sells new bleeder screws for our bikes?  My build is coming to an end quickly and this is a part I'm having some trouble finding.  All the parts stores seem to have it is either a M10X1.0 or 1.5.  Our calipers are M10X1.25.  So if anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

I bought one for my CB350F from my local Honda dealer a few weeks ago.

Thanks Tom,  a buddy contacted our local dealer and all they could tell him was that the bleeder has been obsoleted, and was no longer available.  However I had some luck getting a bleeder out of one of the old calipers I have sitting around so I think I'm ok now, but eventualy I would like to get a new one.

Trav,

Check the brake FAQ.  There is a cross reference in the listing the SpeedBleeder part number for each bike.  SpeedBleeders are actually one-way valves.  Not only will you have a new bleeder, you'll also have the ability to bleed without having to do the normal open-squeeze-hold-close-release-repeat process.  You can just squeeze-release-squeeze-release- top off master-squeeze...

Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.
