Hi would like to order some speed bleeders for my front/rear callipers and my clutch. Can anyone confirm me the sizes please ??? [beer]
Any help please I have the stock callipers on my s2r, would like to install speed bleeders but I don't know the sizes to order???
You might try calling Speed Bleeder directly. If you learn the sizes, please post as my fluids are due for changing.

all ducati and brembo are 10x1
Thanks guys as ducatiz say they are all 10mm by 1.0 x 3, 2 for the front calliper 1 for the rear. Then for the clutch you will need a 6mm by 1.0.

Get a couple of banjo bolts with bleeders while you are at it. Might come in handy.
Cheers battlecry but i got the vacuum pump to make sure there's no bubbles in there. Gonna change lines, pads, rotors and fresh fluid :)

When you change lines it can be difficult to get the tiny bubbles out that stick to the sides of new lines whether you use a vacuum pump or not.
Typically those bubbles will rise to the top and get trapped at the banjo.
A bleeder up top can save a lot of headaches.

I know I'll get ridiculed for this, but it works.
Pick up a cheap vibrator. Yes, a sex toy. Wrap it to the hose and tape it so it's right against it, and turn it on. Tap the hose in a few different places and make sure there are no loops or downward turns. Leave it overnight.
Come back the next day and ALL of the trapped air will be at the highest point.
The vibration transmits over the entire hose just enough to dislodge the air bubbles.
I'd hate to think what other things you do to your bikes. [clap]

The banjo bolts are, but not all of the bleeders are.

Ducpainter is it better to just buy the 2 top banjo bolts with beeders and forget the calliper ones ???
I wonder if anyone has used a pressure bleeder i.e. Motive to deal with the pain of bleeding these. They work a treat for my cars. You would have to sacrifice a reservoir cap or three but it seems like it would be a sure way to get these bastards bled properly.

Yes.
The calipers already have bleeders.
i have 999 master with the bleeders in them, its still being a pain tho. would bleeder bolts releave some air that the master bleeds dont easily?
i cant get the brake to firm up as much as i want. by all means the brakes work great, but what kinda of lever action would be acceptable before firm with 999 master, hel braided lines, motul dot4, brembo 4 spot 2 pad calipers, sintered pads and galfer rotors? not sure how many of those would really effect the squish so i listed it all....
its easily double what my brothers rsv4r is doing. his is all std lines/fluid/brembo monoblocks and radial masters

The monoblocs make a huge diff in braking power. They are known to be brick wall like in their stopping power... you cant really compare your setup vs that hardware unless you upgrade your calipers. If he has the radial masters it might make a diff too.

Cheers for the help, just ordered a single banjo bleeder bolt and a double for the front brakes. Cheaper 2 [drink]

i have radial masters too, 999, and i didn't think the monoblocks would effect the lever squish, just the accurateness and power from having less flex than my 2piece axial calipers. once properly bled, i thought the only squish is going to come from the masters, fluid/lines, and maybe pads.
my front brakes feel near as powerfull as his and i actually prefer the feel i get with mine over his. its just a matter of his have (memory guessing here) ~15mm of lever take up, and mine more like ~25mm at the end of the lever. what do other ppl have?
