1199 Bleed Nipple

Discussion in 'Panigale' started by Joe44, Feb 1, 2023.

  1. Quick Question if I’m replacing anodised bleeder screws on the callipers back to stock do I need to bleed the system or can I just unscrew them and fit replacements with no issues

  2. hmm, i would carry out a quick bleed to remove any chance that air is pulled in, just in case..

  3. Always bleed. Brakes are not items to take chances with.

  4. Cheers guys is it ok to remove the old nipple with fluid in the system without it all escaping then fit the new part and carry out a bleed?

  5. Yup, thats fine. As long as the fluid hasnt been exposed for too long, ie days.

  6. I have done this - you will likely get a little bit of fluid coming out so make sure you have something to catch it to prevent paint damage etc.
    Do the swap really quickly to minimise loss.
    Also you mention anodised nipples - are they ally?

  7. Or remove brake calliper and raise higher than the reservoir
