    Default 2016 RTL bleeding brake fluid

    I am interested in purchasing speedbleeders for changing the brake fluid on a 2016 RTL. Can anyone tell me what size/sizes I need to get?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thumbs up speed bleeders 4 spyder

    I have looked into this question and the answer is [ SD8125L ] for my 2014 RTS. These are stainless steel. Same # front and back. I haven't put them in ( nor ordered them ) but I've had them on other motorcycles and they worked perfect for brake bleeding. I draw out the old fluid from the resivour, fill with new, and procude to bleed,keeping the res. full. It of course dosen't cycle the ABS but you can do that with a hard stop on a loose surface.

    Good luck,
    Lew L

    Thanks Lew L. This is exactly the information that I needed.

    But I am wondering if the number should not be SB8125L? I have searched and could not find an SD8125L. Do you remember where you purchased yours?

    Whenever I order Speed Bleeders, I do it by phone, that way, I get the correct fitment for the vehicle. I tell folks that Speed Bleeders make the job stupid easy.

    I also checked by phone and STILL got the wrong thread size. Very, Very frustrating. The SB8125 is the wrong size for my 2014

    I'm surprised they are still making that mistake. When I received the 8 mm threads and told them it should have been 6 mm, they said their reference was BRP's parts lists. Hmmm. After my fiasco, you'd think Speed Bleeder would have corrected their records.
    If you haven't already called to get the correct bleeders, do so and tell to change their records. The good news is, they send another set no charge and don't want the original shipment back.

    Can someone tell me the correct model number for the caliper bleed on my 2014 RT? Is it the SB8125L?

    How about the VSS bleed, if I decide to do that one also?
