Brake/clutch bleed nipple R1150GS

[marcopol]

Is the one for the GS unique to BMW or should I be able to get one from most bike shops

use the search function, in advanced mode, Ideally, type Steptoe into the user name section, and clutch bleed into the other.

You can get stainless steel replacements from Chris Shaw Engineering-good value and beautifully made, and wont snap as soon as you try to bleed your brakes!

I was just on here looking for the answer to this very question! Not sure if you can get them in most bike shops but I do need a nipple too, and was going to try Kennedy's in Drogheda on Monday for one....
Anybody know what size to ask for???
Do nipples come in different sizes???

The nipple you need to bleed the clutch is the same nipple fitted to the earlier GS brembo calipers, and the same as all the early K and R series.
