Front Brake Bleeder Screw

Ok, you take out the grub screw ... then what? Do you have to buy a BMW brake bleeder screw to put in there? Can I just buy a "SpeedBleeder (TM)" to put in there? I called my dealer and SHOCKINGLY no one knew, well whoever they decided to put on the phone had no clue as to what I was even talking about.


I MISS MY PARTS GUY MATT F.! Why did he have to go back to BMW cars?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Where did I put that bike again? .......

Tell your dealer that you want the bleeder screw that goes in the "other" side (i can't remember which side that was). Once they find it, remove the "grub" screw (where did they come up with that name?) and insert the bleeder screw... Then you can bleed the brake just like any other bike.

Yes it is hard to find a good parts person.
