...there is no such thing as a 1998 Hypermotard.

And Spiegler is the way to go.

Not sure I see the advantage over a check valve.

You are still going to have to attach tubing to the nipple when you bleed the lines, so why not just use a $4 CV.

I have done bleeding the old fashioned way, tried Speedbleeders, MityVacs, EZE Bleeder, etc. IMHE, if you want to make bleeding almost effortless to do, especially alone, the Motive Brembo Powerbleeder can't be beat:

Amazon.com: Motive Products Brembo Front/Rear and Clutch Power Bleeder MP-0160: Automotive

It's not cheap ($75) but I can bleed my clutch and front and rear brakes in 15 minutes, no mess, alone. You put fresh fluid in the power bleeder, screw the billet brembo attachment to the reservoir you are flushing (in place of OEM reservoir cap), pump pressurize the power bleeder, open the bleed screw, wait until the fluid runs out clear, tighten bleeder, done. No pumping or zip tying levers, opening and closing bleeders, watching and refilling reservoir, etc. It is basically a poor man's version of the professional power bleeder shops use. And it's great for the track when you need to bleed quickly.

[no affiliation with company just terribly impressed with product]

Yes, but the "field-worthy" Spiegler + bag set-up is fitting for the guy who doesn't have the garage away from the garage... FWIW That bag and line fits in the LH fairing compartment.

not to mention that you can get basically any attachment that you want so you can flush the fluid on your 76 plymouth volare or whatever other cage you own. I've owned one for years, but recently the pump took a shit.
