Cougar Posted October 27, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Best thing since sliced bread. Took longer to installed the bleeders then to do the job. Here are a couple pics of how bad my master clutch looked like. Ended up having to use paper towels and Q-tips to clean the sludge out of there. the speed bleeders made this so easy to do. It also helps if your remove the number one cyl fin to replace the bleeder. Last change was seven years ago. (way to long) With the speed bleeders I will change once a year from now on.

Kirby Posted October 27, 2012 Share #4 Posted October 27, 2012 Yea man, you got that right! I installed 'em last week and it works like a charm. I took the #1 cylinder fin off and filed down the bottom edge so the bleeder wouldn't hit it and to get a little more clearance for attaching a hose for bleeding later. I highly recommend these for everyone. I had previously bought a brake vacuum pump but these things are so much easier to use. I was worried a little about getting air in the lines during installation but it pumped it all right out! I'm sold on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twigg Posted October 27, 2012 Share #9 Posted October 27, 2012 I have Speed Bleeders on the XS750, and they are indeed, excellent. I would put them on the VR, but 4 @ $7 each plus shipping soon adds up. It's not that hard to manipulate the bleed nipple AND the brake levers at the same time. The only one that is a stretch is the left front caliper, and even then you can do it. So I am saving the $30ish for something else .... They are nice to have though.

Cougar Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share #15 Posted October 28, 2012 Those above #'s are correct... my invoice is in my hand However if anyone has a Hannigan Convertion they will need 2 bleeders SB1010S for the rear instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike G in SC Posted April 28, 2013 Share #17 Posted April 28, 2013 I put speed bleeders on my RSV and my RSTD a few months ago. After they sat in the envelope much of a year. Of course, replaced brake and clutch fluids then. Easy, okay. Still have to avoid being stupid and emptying the reservoir, twice. (So, would still help to have two people so the other one can call you STUPID.) But today I replaced rear brake pads on both bikes and,,,, boy, that was easy. Both bikes are rear lowered so I did not have to remove the saddle bag. Pulled the brake holding pins/spring, loosened the speed bleeder, spread the pistons, pulled old pads, pushed back the pistons some more and inserted new pads. The bleeders made quick work of compressing the pistons without worrying about air getting in the lines. Nice,,,,, not stupid. Mike G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
