Title: What are the caliper bleeder thread sizes/pitches '07 M695
Post by: onederer on August 08, 2010, 03:01:19 PM
i tried searching, but came up with bupkiss.

I'm looking to install some speedbleeders, but don't want to get the wrong sizes for the front and rear calipers.
I was also thinking of getting one for the clutch bleeder.

thanks for any help you can give.

yeah, i saw that thread. hence the similarity in the title.
but does that mean that the 05 S4R Goldlines and my M695 calipers are similar and have the same bleed nipples?

the info that I've been able to source says that 00 M750 uses front M8x1.25 and rear M10X1
07 Sport classics use M10X1 front and rear.
The 05 S4R is not listed on the speedbleeder.com website

AFAIK Brembo parts are similar enough to use the same thread.

If there is any doubt why not remove the bleeders and measure or put a caliper below the hex and get a close idea?

Because like an idiot I thought the tech forum would be a good place to ask.  [cheeky]

When I'm near the bike next week, I guess that I'll measure it then. then tack on another week while I await the hopefully correct part.

It is a good place... :P

I can go check my two bikes if it will help. ;)

For anyone else interested the speedbleeders are indeed M10X1  MODEL # SB1010S. For the front AND rear.
make sure it's the S version as it is shorter by about 3mm over the regular SB1010 piece.

The longer version can be used but it will stick up a bit funny and you will have to move your front banjos a smidge to get your 11mm wrench on or off.

Ask me how I know?  ;D
