Speed Bleeders for the RS
#11
Nice videos. Are you going to do a follow up video on the brake bleeding process with the speed bleeders? A trick I learned from my old BMW motorcycle mechanic was to use a very thin (tooth pick size) rolled up paper towel piece to insert into the end of the brake nipple. Doing so then absorbs any residual brake fluid left in the nipple. I would typically have to do that a few times before the paper towel pieces would come out dry. By doing that you can then monitor the nipple in the future for any brake fluid found in the nipple and if found tighten the speed bleeder a small amount to correct the minor leak.
FYI I never had to replace the thread sealant on the speed bleeders even though I would bleed the brakes once or twice a year on the various bikes with speed bleeders.

When reattaching front fairings I would usually forget to connect the electric turn signal connection. Big Grin
