Speed Bleeder Brake Bleeder Install from Sportbiketrackgear.com

[MrRastaNinja]

Do you tighten these up to the same torque as the original bleed nipples?

[Sportbiketrackgear]

@MrRastaNinja Same torque will be fine.

my bike has ABS brakes. Are these okay for ABS? Any special considerations when bleeding ABS systems? Thanks

I have a 2009 R1 and I'm thinkling about adding speed bleeders, but I also have a Roadlok on my front caliper that gets in the way as far as installation and bleeding of the break line. Do you have any tips on " how to " without having to remove the roadlok?

Thanks.

[Sportbiketrackgear]

@ninjutsu1968 I am not familiar with the Road Lock, sorry. End of the day removing the road lock to service the brake fluid would not be much different than having to remove the fairing to change the oil. Wish I had a better answer

I just replaced my back brakes on my gsxr 600 with HH EBC pads, should I run them or or should i get CL pads?

[caparzo2142]

@deerman1212 its more then enough for the front and rear, used them on the track and no problems at all

[Sportbiketrackgear]

@deerman1212 If you already have them in there just run em. Give the CL pads a shot next time. I have found it is fun to try different brakes and tires to experience the difference between them.

Ok, I have a very basic question. Why install aftermarket brakes? Is it a quality thing or something? It seems like a lot of money for a job the bike performs adequately. 04 gsxr 600

[Sportbiketrackgear]

@Raxarax The performance aftermarket brake components simply outperform the stock. Steel braided limes offer better feel. A Brembo master cylinder will increase fell and power as well as eliminate most brake fade issues. No there are several pad options available. Some offer better power, some more initial bite others modulate better. Many reasons to change stock components in favor of aftermarket ones.

i have a ktm rc8 with brembo calipers the original bleeer with the rubber cap on is very close to the front guard {i have to remove the guard to bleed brakes} is the speed bleeder longer than original

[Sportbiketrackgear]

@fukthailand They are available in different lengths. Please contact us directly ryanp at sportbiketrackgear

Afraid to look at the camera much?

[JerryGar96]

Is there a reason why you don't install the speed bleeders before changing the lines, while the old brake fluid still has pressure? Then getting old fluid out and bleeding the lines for the line change would be easier and faster.

[Sportbiketrackgear]

@JerryGar96 Better to get the fluid flowing before the speed bleeders are installed IMO. The speed bleeders are best for changing the fluid etc...

[dobsr1]

@Sportbiketrackgear once installed the Speed Bleeder Brake Bleeder do u leave them in as u would do a normal bleeder

[Sportbiketrackgear]

@JerryGar96 Yes, once installed they stay in the caliper just like the stock bleeder. Next time you change the brake fluid it is a snap.

[AlrightThen15]

Pretty cool, although, what if that spring fails inside the bleeder? does air enter the lines without you knowing it? I would hate to be coming off the back straight at road atlanta and grab a handful of nothing ! Just sayin, moving parts usually equal failure at some point granted they should only move during a bleed... I would just be sure it can't fail while your riding... if so, count me in.

[watchthiss]

@AlrightThen15 I'm not sure , but I think when the bleeder is seated there is no way for the fluid to pass through the checkvalve. With or without the checkvalve fluid will only pass through the nipple when it has become un-seated. Please chime in if anyone knows any different.

[dimos47ki7]

@AlrightThen15 it is basically a hydraulic switch, and hydraulic switches are incredibly reliable.

just think of all the digging machines, they all work with hydraulic switches and almost never fail.

hydraulic switches used on variable valve timing on cars.

generally these are really reliable and i wouldn't worry about them failing ;)

[JIVTUKEY]

I have a Suzuki SV 1000s, it doesn't have bleeding valve at the top just the two on the bottom. Is there something different I should do? thanks for the help

[Sportbiketrackgear]

@JIVTUKEY Just use the bleeders on the calipers, many master cylibders do not have a bleeder on them.

[JIVTUKEY]

@Sportbiketrackgear thanks, thats all I needed to know.

[x2flipballa2x]

now after your done bleeding the brakes.. do you have to take out that speed bleeder? or do you just leave it on there?

[e30Birdy]

@x2flipballa2x you leave it in... like he said its the same thing as a normal one except it has like a valve in it which closes when you release pressure off you lever, makes bleeding easier... when done close the valve. you dont just change the thing just to change it again....

[e30Birdy]

[eighty9crx]

It sounds like Mathias is from Germany.

[Sportbiketrackgear]

@eighty9crx Hard to cover that accent up for sure.

[csoto23]

a ratchet wrench would make installing the speed bleeder easier and faster

[mrjost55]

good point, just don't forget a deep socket

[weazunit]

great job fellas thanks for being careful with my baby!!!

[Sportbiketrackgear]

No worries and thanks for the donor bike!

[gstyle67]

Great series of vids, guys! I got my Spiegler kit in January - Now I can install with confidence! (...and yes, I do have the super-secret shop manual for my Fireblade!)
