Thanks all for the posts. Maybe someone can take some pics of the left cover removed from the bike showing the slave or the schematic in the manual. If I am not mistaken, speed bleeders replace the standard bleed nipples on brake calipers/clutch slave and have a small spring loaded check ball in them. Hook a vacuum operated bleed tool to the speed bleed nipple and draw a vacuum. As vacuum builds, the check ball opens and allows fluid to be drawn out. Release vacuum and the check ball re-seats and keeps air from entering the system. Speed bleeders are a convenience item so you do not have to work a wrench to open an close the bleed nipple.
