Daft question

should the rear brake master cylinder be fitted with a bleed nipple items 27 -31 as below :dunno
RSV 1000 Tuono 2006-2009 ~ Rear master cylinder - Parts at Aprilia Genuine Parts, Aprilia Parts, Aprilia Spare Parts, Aprilia Accessories, Aprilia Motorcycle Parts
reason i ask is because mine does not as can be seen in the piccie on the attached thread and all references to bleeding the back brake mention bleeding the master cylinder as well

I took the caliper off and held it with the bleed nipple at the top, It bled up ok from that position, you'll need three hands though. good luck.

Mine doesnt have a bleed nipple in there (2007):

Also, if you look at P118 of the manual the one shown there does not have one either ?

Dunno if this helps !!!

oops... sorry...... here you go - Pic of a nice clean one !

Noticed on your link that they list different master cylinders for the standard and the factory..... is that the factory on in the diagram ?
