Thanks very much for your detailed response. It was exactly what I was looking for. I see there are several different lengths/depths available for a SB8125 bleeder. Is the 16 mmm working depth the correct one for a Burg 400?
FWIW - I did ask him (or perhaps it was another distributor) about Burgman speed bleeders a year or maybe even two ago now ... and he said he didn't make them (at least at that time he didn't). i also couldn't find them when I scanned his eBay store but maybe I missed them.
Thanks again. ~ Bugjr ~
The stock bleed screws have a 16 mm working depth (shank), as do the SB8125 speed bleeders. I suspect the reason "they" said they did not have them is because no one had ever before asked and they did not know what size they were...
As I said I have used them in the past, however unless I were all alone in the world I would not place them as high priority for something that you might maybe do once a year. Also, FWIW I have found that using a handheld vacuum pump to "suck" bleed the braking system does not work well on the Burgman--at least my '03 anyway. Conventional open the valve, depress and hold the lever, close the valve and repeat as necessary is the fastest way.
For the rear "combination" brake do the rear caliper first then the "rear" piston at the front caliper...
