lloydo Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I recently had the brake line replacement recall done on my 2007 R1200RT. After the service, I noticed a small amount of brake fluid on the bleeder valve on the caliper. I assumed it was from things not being completely cleaned up. However, a few days later, it looks like the threads on the valve are slightly wet. I tightened the valve slightly; hopefully, that will take care of it. In case it doesn't, I'm wondering what type of seal is on the bleeder valve? I can't seem to see anything looking at the parts fiche. Thanks. Lloyd Link to comment
Boffin Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Bleed screws seal with the taper at the end of the screw bedding into a chamfered orifice. There is no additional seal used or required. Andy Link to comment
lloydo Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Thanks so much. This is exactly what I thought. Hopefully the leak does not continue as I'm not sure a new valve would help (chamfered orifice may be damaged). Link to comment
