I just noticed the other day, that when i pulled the rubber dust boot off of the bleeder screw on the front master cylinder. There was a bit of brake fluid on the rubber ring that goes around the bleeder screw and around the area where the bleeder screw threads in. I cleaned the brake fluid up the other day, and today i went riding again, i noticed that the fluid residue had returned. It's made some of the black paint around the bleeder screw to flake/peel off. Earlier tonight i loosened the bleeder screw a bit, and tightened it up. Tonight i came home and the rubber ring on the dust boot that goes around the bleeder screw was wet again. It doesn't seem to be leaking out of the top of the bleeder, but from the area where the bleeder screw threads into the master cylinder. Why is the bleeder screw leaking? How can i fix this problem?

Yea my bike just starting doing the same thing after my last visit to the track. Teflon tape is fine or you can use some speedbleeders. This is really common on all GSXR's.
Can anyone answer me this question? Why is it that I always have to constantly bleed brakes on any GSXR I have owned? never have this issue with other brands. For some reason Suzuki seem to leak/bleed air in to the brake system more so than other brands? I would imagine the big four all use the same brake products?
