I've got one levers, just swapped back to the old pads and going round the block, 8mm in my pocket

Ignore above.....the master cylinder (two of them,17.48 and 19mm) have both done odd things, like one disc getting really hot and the brakes locking on.... So today I rebuilt the 19mm one and rebled the system till it was nice, then a few miles later I had to open a bleed screw and let some pressure...

Gummed up pilot jets normally, I ended up replacing mine
I googled the spec and they were £25 for 4.

I had already used a ultrasound cleaner on them
I'd tried carb cleaner , much stronger than suggested but that didn't work either

MOT passed


I've also fitted a 19mm radial master cylinder (instead of the 17.5 not as well as)

I've only ridden a few miles but it seems better, I was expecting more squash at the lever and a bit of a spongy feeling, I need to bed the new pads in and then we shall see.

My last one of these was because of a trapped wire, it only shorted out when I went over a big bump.
It was black wire, black bracket and black bolt.
Had to park up get the Mrs to rescue me and went back the next day.
Took about 40mims to realise what it was

Theres no option to pm you in your profile, I'll get my glasses and have another look...

managed to get a ride on it today .. Recently I've got someone else to do the fork,as they would leak after a few months when I did them Put the original suspension dog bones back on, I put zzr600 ones on as they are longer and give a lower seat height, I also set the rear chain adjuster eccentrics ...

How did you do? I've assisted for a few years and my wife said she will pay half of the entry fee for me next year

Good luck

Today I fitted a different radial master cylinder, it seems I had a zx10r one before which is 15mm I've fitted a cbr1000rr one instead, this one is 17.5mm. Only done 20 miles and some of that was getting the rust off of the discs.... Feels much better, it not correctly fitted yet as I've rotated the...

Bigger test today, out at 0330 ,clear but damp roads, pads still bedding in. A few harder stops and dragging the brakes whilst moving. Up to 70ish and all ok, got to work and both discs were a bit warm but not hot so no sign of dragging or a sized caliper. As it was dark I couldn't see if the whole ...

Short test ride today,it had the pars that the calipers came with. They bite and release well. As for power and modulation,I need to bed the pads in , after about 3 miles of lightly using them whilst not actually braking they felt better. I stopped a couple of times and had sprayed the calipers with...

Not ridden yet only fitted and bled this morning, currently I'm ironing as I'm so very rock and roll. It was originally built for a zzr11c model not the D that I have, I've had to fettle it a bit , usual stuff, hacksaw, Dremel, carbon burr and a file. The bit that was the problem is the bit in-betwe...

Radial calipers conversion.....Mmmm
More info to follow as I've only just fitted and bled them
