Haven't installed any on the bike yet, but have been using them on my cars for a while. Very handy product.

 

They leaked after you shut them?!

 

Hmmm....I don't think I would have asked that question.

 

Thanks, just ordered them.

 

Well one of 4, always had a bead of DOT 5 on her. So I switched it back to the oem.

 

why do you need to open the bleeders.

 

From their website:

When it is time to bleed your brakes, you loosen the Speed Bleeder 1/4 turn and pump your brake pedal. When the pedal is depressed the pressure generated opens the check valve letting air and brake fluid out of the end of the Speed Bleeder. When you release the pedal and it returns to the up position, the check valve closes and prevents any air from reentering the system through the Speed Bleeder. When bubble free fluid is evident you close the Speed Bleeder. In the closed position it works just like your stock bleeder screw and prevents any brake fluid from leaking out. It generally takes about 5 pumps to purge each caliper or wheel cylinder.

 

I was a diesel mechanic for 20 years. Wish they invented speed bleeders years ago. I installed a set last year on my bike when I converted to Brembo brakes. The Speed Bleeders really do work like the advertise.

FYI - Be sure to get the hose and bag to bleed into. It really makes the whole process of bleeding or changing brake fluid a very simple one person job.

BLEEDER BAG

 

I have been using them for many years. they work just as advertised. With these you can flush your brake fluid in a short time and bleed the fronts in minutes. Well worth the money. I have never had one leak. must be the different brand.

 

Sure like mine..............quick work when bleedin.
