    I want to change my brake system bleed nipples, but on checking online microfiche sites it does not list the size of the thread, on other sites its says M7 or M8. Measuring the ones on the bike (2004 VFR800 VTEC imported from US to UK in 2009) they seem to be about 7.65mm diameter :frown-new: Can anyone confirm size?

    Just order some speed bleeders,you won't regret it. You can order them direct or from wiremybike.com. Get the stainless steel ones, well worth it IMO.
