November 23, 200816 yr Moderator I know theres obviously m6, m8 m10 etc but are all of them m? x 1.25? no, sometimes (but rarely) fine pitch sizes are used,
November 23, 200816 yr Author no, sometimes (but rarely) fine pitch sizes are used, mmm could cause a problem then. I'm looking at buying a banjo bolt with a bleed nipple built in, I know its m10, but can't find out the thread size

November 23, 200816 yr Author Buy a thread gauge thenHere I've got one, but i dont want to go taking it out, because then i'llbe goosed for using it for a while, as the bleed nipple has snapped, So if i take it off i'll need to bleed it right?

November 23, 200816 yr Author Sorry Steve but dont know what youre on about!! I went to change the brake fluid, when i went to undo the bleed nipple, the head just sheered off (i had used tons of wd40) but to no avail. It however is still closed so no problem there. I was advised to get one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...rksid=p3907.m29 It goes on where the brake hose goes into the caliper and replaces the standard union bolt, allowing the bleed nipple. Is that a bit clearer?
November 23, 200816 yr Moderator Yes that is clearer now youve told the full story, it seems a good idea if it works, so why not buy it then, if youre worried about wasting £7 (being Scottish) then get the thread gauge first that i posted and measure the existing banjo bolt
November 23, 200816 yr Author Lol, well if truth be told. I am pretty tight, But considering the amount i've spend on the bike, i'd have been aswell buying a new one! Just posted a problem about the gears aswell. i think i'll be hitting the roof shortly! lol
November 23, 200816 yr Author Thats great steve. Cheers I believe Yamaha only used metric fine on M14 and above
November 24, 200816 yr I may be wrong here but dosn't the brake lines go into the bottom of the caliper?? If it does you will not be able to bleed the air out as it is at the top of the caliper.

November 24, 200816 yr Author As far as i remember it goes into the top. Heres hoping! lol Take it off and turn it upside down.........
