Brake LInes
After reading the SV650 top ten list on MCN's website I have had a look on Hel's website for brake lines. I think I'm going to request a full kit from my Girl Friend but I was just wondering what size the bleed nipples are on the sv650 (99). I think they are M8 but can someone confirm as they may be smaller?

Re: Brake LInes
I have a 99 also and just blead the brakes the other day.
I think it's actualy smaller than M8 but can't remember, still have the spanner sitting out so could let you know tomorrow. Not much use if your ordering just now though. |

Re: Brake LInes
HAHA no not just yet don't have the cash at the mo but they need sorting. I know that the nut part of the nipple is M8 and that the bolt is thinner so I'm making a guess at M7 but I need to be sure. Thanks

Re: Brake LInes
It's not M8, it's 8mm head. Size of spanner does not indicate size of thread.

Re: Brake LInes
I would say ask HEL, but... No. Don't do that. They and Goodridge have a longstanding competition going to find out who can send out the most incorrect parts with their kits

Re: Brake LInes
M7 x 1.00
The Suzuki bleed nipples are 7mm and with a 1.00 pitch, they have a 8mm hex head on them so you will need a 8mm spanner. You will need four bleed nipples in total for the SV as the rear calliper has two nipples. |
