Two thumbs up for the "speed bleeder" upgrade. Now a one person job. Flushing out all the amber brake and clutch fluid was simple and fast. I wish I had this system in my youth. Remember the phrase "pump, pump, hold"? The "check" ball design is what replaces the need for a second person.

SB-8125L (3) Brake Calipers
SB-8125LL (1) Clutch
Hose+Bag (highly recommended and reusable)

$36 delivered.    www.speedbleeder.com

Loosen the resevoir handlebar clamps to level it up, before you begin to remove the lid and adding the fluid(DOT 4). Just keep squeezing and adding new fluid, and watch the old amber fluid pump into the bag on the floor. After about 10 pumps, the fluid going into the bag is clear and now thoroughly replaced. Tighten the nipple, and return the resevoir to its original position. Done!

(cover your gas tank with an old towel to catch a resevoir spill, and use a shop rag to catch the dribble when you replace the nipples.)

I'm either driving a Valkyrie or an Airbus... it just depends on the day of the week.

Yep... I will agree.   You reminded me that I will need to order another set of those for my latest addition.   Thanks.

Ahh, tight nipples are the best!   Grin
