:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao: Dont forget your 55 tooth rear sprocket for wheelie Hill..... I might even have Rodney come just to keep a eye on you...
Since I'm riding a 600 at R.A., I've requested that they put up a speed limit sign on the straight between T7 and 10A...........140MPH max.......that way y'all on the liter bikes don't suck the rattle can paint off of my bike when you go past me! :lmao::lmao::lmao:
Just wondering. Since the speedy bleeding part of Speed Bleeders is a check ball and spring that only work during the bleeding operation, how would you be at risk if they failed? When locked closed, they're just like regular bleeder screws, right?
Correct!!! The only problem I've seen is that every once in a while, after many, many times of bleeding, you have to add some more thread compound to the threads, because you have cracked them open and closed a number of times. This is no different than anything else that is hydraulic or pneumatic that uses teflon tape on the threads or sealant. Every once in a while I will just reapply some more thread compound to the threads. The speed bleeders work very well.
Yes, It's a speed bleeder sealant, not loctite. The speed Bleeders come with a sealant around the threads when new, you might have to reapply some sealant once in a while, it's quick and easy.
Here is a write up I did for a forum I help run. About the most fool proof bleed, with least chance of error I have found yet. Seems everyone who tries it, loves it :cheers http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283074 And, while you are at it, here is my caliper cleaning method. Soemthing that is regularly over looked in brake maintenance http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311889
Thanks for the contribution! So far the simple method of loosen-pump-tighten-release has always given me a "one finger lever" on the track... But I'm slow!
Uh-oh!!! Will you be at Putnam this weekend? I'd like to see some of your bleeding technique explained in person. I read others' questions and your answers and I'm still a little fuzzy...
Also, I'm a little embarrassed to ask, but... My GSX-R600 is the first bike I've owned to have a bleeder at the master cylinder. Do I bleed there as well as the calipers every time? Is the technique any different?
Sorry, I dont go quite that far north. Yes, the technique at the master cylinder is the same. I really need to do it on video for people. I keep intending to LOL
