    Default Speed Bleeders?

    Has anyone installed speed bleeders on their Spyders for ease of bleeding the brake system? If so, looking to see what size would be recommended for mine, a 2012 RT-s SM5.

    Was looking at these: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...speed-bleeders ; apparently available in 7,8,10 mm sizes.

    Default Never tried.....

    But would say the 7 mm, but may also depend on the brakes your model has...Brembo may have bigger ones I never looked..

    I use them in my cars and trucks. They work great. If they have them for the spider, ill get them.

    I use this. Same function but much cheaper. You only need one of these. I really like it.

    That's the one I have. Looks like the new ones are that blue anodized aluminum.
