So, I've been looking at different brake/clutch bleeding options and I'm thinking Speed Bleeders might be the way to go. Anyone happen to know which size the 1125r takes for both the front and back brakes and the clutch, or if they even have the right ones?

Thanks.

I don't know what size works for the 1125R. However for the cost of 3 of these tiny check valves you'll pay at least $21 and they go when the bike goes to a new home or the grave. You could buy a Mityvac for about $35 and it is a tool that will last for years and work on any car or bike.

M8x1,25 for the front brake and clutch

I agree with Ron. I've had my Mityvac for a long time. Just did my front brakes, rear brake and clutch last week. One of the best $35 purchases I ever made.

I bought some easybleed nipples for the TL an they sheered off the second time I used them.. They're drilled awfully thin and they're quite a bit longer to accommodate the one way valve.. They're way too flimsy for my big hands!

It was a good excuse to upgrade the callipers but I won't be buying them again!

Sears carries them.
