Has anyone used regular automotive type brake bleed screws on the XS? The yamaha dealer wants over $12 each for the bleed screws (though they do come with neat rubber covers... LOL)
I plan on ordering a set of speed bleeders for my bike but need to replace the existing screws in the interim. I picked up a couple of M8x1.25 screws at Napa for about $2 each...that look very close to the originals. The main difference is the tip of the screw that seals it up. The original screws come to a point at the tip.... while the new ones only have a taper and are blunt. Has anyone run into problems running this type of bleed screw?
