SpeedBleeder sizes?

Okay a search was unsuccessful, here, online, and on the SB website, but surely somebody has installed SpeedBleeders on their F800s. I'm looking for them for an F800R, so I'll need to poll the group wisdom to be sure that the F&R calipers are the same. The bike will need four, two front, one rear, and one for the front master cylinder. I'm going to keep searching, but if someone has done the legwork, I'd appreciate the info.

The ones for the calipers are 10mm by 1.0 (SB1010S).

That's the size I gather for the rear; the fronts (at least on the F800R) come up as SB8125L. The front master cylinder bleed fitting appears to be M5X1, but I don't find that anywhere online.

A while back I contacted SpeedBleeder and, at least at that time,
they did not make one that would fit the front master cylinder.

(BTW: Only ABS bikes have a bleeder on the master cylinder ... )

Fronts here are listed as the same as rear SB1010S with ABS unit blank....is the 8125 for the master cylinder on the handlebar?

Some of the bikes actually have bleeders on the ABS control unit, the twins don't have them,
I don't think the 8125 is correct for the front caliper but can not say for certain...

Should be the same size as the KTM 950 and 990 if that helps you find some.

Ya I "think" the front calipers take the same SB1010S bleeder as the rear does. As for the nipple on the handlebar for the ABS I don't know...

The ABS-equipped front MC bleed fitting is an M5x1, which is apparently not made by SpeedBleeder.

Are the front calipers different on the Roadster vs the GS?

Okay, to answer my own question, for the F800GS, all three are SB1010S. For the F800R, the fronts are 8mm by 1.25 or SB8125L. This is not per SpeedBleeder, but from a vendor of theirs on eBay, so YMMV, but it sounds right to me.

Could the master cylinder bleed possibly be a size M6x1?

You thinkin that M6 might be the one shown in the parts fiche (ISA screw)? It appears to me that it's the only line that goes back to the ABS modulator.

I also wasn't aware that there was only one bleed screw on the front calipers...the right one has a allen bolt grub screw thing that you remove and then screw in a bleed/vent nipple. (like on the 1150 clutch bleed). Hrmmm..I can see a speedbleeder going in place of that grub screw.

I don't think so. I poked around until I found a schematic of the ABS-equipped master cylinder (on an F800GS), and the listing was M5 X 1. I was able to put a caliper on the threads of the fitting on my bike, and it was a scosche smaller than 5mm.

I can confirm that the fronts on an F800R are SB8125L (x2), and the rear is SB1010S.

Best bang for the buck mod in the world.

No connection, but I can recommend Kirby's Brake Bleeders (eB** vendor) as a very good source for these.

Is this the same product or a competitor?

Anybody have any experience with these guys:

Looks to be the same piece. My guess is that there's one mfgr, and everybody else repackages them. When I needed a single, SpeedBleeder directed me to look for one from Dorman at a local parts store.

Thanks!

Hi, anyone hear about this stahlbus brake bleed valve?

Not seen such an item in the States. While I'm sure it will work as represented, I'm not concerned with wearing the threads at the caliper by the quarter-turn opening of a SpeedBleeder. I would want to know hoe much longer the Stahlbus item is than stock; wouldn't want it to be so long as to be at risk of impact, either in a mishap, or while doing some other task on the bike. Thanks for pointing it out to us!

Speedbleeder sizes for a F700GS are:
M10x1x16 for the front
M10x1x14 for the rear
The following link opens up a pdf file which gives all thread assignment sizes for bikes.

Don't forget you have to buy the valve caps separately.
As you will have guessed I have done this on my 700GS and it makes bleeding brakes/changing fluid so much easier and also you protect the threaded hole in the caliper.
You will see posts which decry doing this but as usual its your money so your choice!!
Hope this helps.

Anyone have the size for the 2004 r1150gsa? I wanna bled the brake and the hydraulic clutch too!
Also , what type of hydraulic oil you guys use for the gsa?
