Hey folks, done a bit of googling and can't get a good answer...

Looking for banjo bleed nipples. 1 for brake master cylinder with 2 hoses. One for clutch either master or Slave... Can't remember which you need for the bleeding... Any info folks? Primarily need sizes and thread etc but if you just happen to have or know a place....

I bought a replacement bolt complete with bleed in stainless for the clutch slave when I fitted it new
Bolt was m10x1to fit into slave as a direct replacement for the steel item and it was a good ridge item from eBay think it cost £15 seller was bg-supplies

This is what you need, I think -

Definitely buy in stainless (not plated steel) and Brembo always use M10 x 1.0 thread pitch.

I found that the bleed nipples on my falco Brembo front calipers were m8x1.25

Thanks folks! It's something that been doing my head in. Although that link is for 1.25 but you comment said 1.0... 1.0 for clutch and 1.25 brake master?

As far as I'm aware, all banjo fittings on Brembo brake or clutch master cylinders and brake calipers are M10 x 1.0. Bleed nipples may well be M8 x 1.25, I haven't checked recently.

Sorry for providing a misleading link; they do sell double banjo bolts with bleed nipples in M10 x 1.0 , as I bought one off them earlier today! Perhaps send them a message via 'Ask a question' or something...?

Ah, thanks mate. Genuinely much appreciated.
Am I right in saying we fit a bleed banjo on clutch Slave? Sorry,not had a look at the bike in a few days.

There should already be a bleed nipple on the clutch slave cylinder. Fitting a bleed nipple banjo bolt on the clutch master is optional, but recommended. M10 x 1 again, but single.

And I thank you. Going to try the kz bleed procedure... Never tried that way before.
