How often should one bleed? Is this track or streetbike?

it's mah street/track bike...i am crazy so i do it like every six months or so...or when i have anxiety attacks...but at least once per year....if based on mileage, i'd do it every other oil change or like 7-10K.

i think they motion pro things are pretty cool...just a one way check valve that's all...

Yo Tahoe! I'm ready to get those things man, but the website suks. Do I just get 3 of the SB125L? I would rather have the short version (I think).

i got the L cause it's easier to work with as far as getting a hose over it.

Just bought the speedbleeders (SB8125L) fmo the website for my 600RR. I'll let you know how the installation/usage went when they get here. This is perfect timing because I just bought the braided SS lines/black pads (Galfer) for the front brakes just the other day.

I use these for my car and they work pretty well... it saves me the hassle of finding someone else to help me bleed the brakes. The only bad thing that I've noticed is that the material they use is pretty soft. Be careful not to strip the bolt as the ones on my car are starting to get "rounded" out.

also...if you're changing to SS lines, speedbleeders won't do much to help you bleed because they only work when the system has pressure inside. you'll need to prime the lines first.

So should I change to the SS lines and bleed them before I install the SpeedBleeders?
