Default Bleed Nipple Size?

I'm just ordering some replacment bleed nipples for when I do the brake lines in a couple of weeks.

Does anybody know the bolt size? The guys website states most Suzukis are M7 x 1.00.

I've had a search on the forum, checked the Haynes and the service manual and can't find out.

Am I right in thinking there are 2 nipples on the rear calliper?

Thanks in advance peeps

Dunno about actual size, but they need an 8mm spanner to undo if that helps.

I only came into this forum to giggle about nipples... I mean who asks about the size of their nipples?

You can prevent that by
  • Not wearing a shirt.
  • Sticking a small bandage over each nipple before the commencement of exercise, to act as a barrier between skin and cloth.
  • Applying petroleum jelly to the area prior to exercise to prevent chafing.
