One bleed valve for the rear brakes of a YZF 750 SP. Lost somewhere on Coromandel loop approximately 2 weeks ago. :argh:

Now I know why my rear brakes disappeared suddenly. However, I've also found that brake fluid chews through powercoat to reveal alloy wheel rims :angry2:

Cost you about $4 from your local brake specialist :)

none of the brake specialists I went to had anything near small enough for a motorbike caliper. generally they are 6 x 1mm x 15mm or 8 x 1.25mm x whatever.

I bought a speedbleeder (which turned out not to fit my bike....doh) from www.speedbleeder.com which I thought/think was a good bit of kit.

Go to a proper specialist, a member of the New Zealand Brake and Clutch Specialists Association. If they don't have it, they can get them from Autostop (Automotive Supplies New Zealand Limited. Failing that, give me the correct size and pitch, and I'll send you one for free, you'll get it on Wednesday (assume I work Saturday, we might be closed this weekend, if not, it'll be next Tuesday... only doing brakes on Saturdays now). But yeah, it'd be 6x1, 7x1, or 8x1.25 :)
