I use Motive products (try to support American made) for automotive break bleeders and power full systems but they dont make much for motorcycles.

any recommendations on a break bleeder kit for the 400?

these are the motive products i use and LOVE!

I just used a rubber/plastic hose to change and bleed the rear and front brake fluids with a plastic bottle at the end. Fortunately the the bleeder and rear caliper is on the same side, not so on my friends BMW. One question, what size open end wrench is the bleeder screw? I didn't have one and used a small cresent wrench.

Just did it and the size was 7mm. That or my 8mm is oversized. I just used a 6mm and a dime to fill in the gap.

I do the same just not as eloquently as you. 😂
My bottle of choice is the lowly plastic water bottle. 😉

If I don’t use something heavy I’ll knock it over and make a mess. Every time! Brake fluid and I are mortal enemies!

I do like Duckman except for my Goldwing. Then I use a Motion Pro Micro bleeder because I can’t pump the lever and reach the screws at the same time without someone else to help me.

I've been using very similar one on my cars - works great 👍

I hear that. My KTM touring bike is like I can barely reach both. Just barely. But that still better than asking the old lady to help.
