Re: Front brakes

I've tried sintered pads and organic pads and have found them to make no difference. I don't like giving up on things but this has got me tearing my hair out! I'm getting closer and closer to just looking for a replacement caliper and master cylinder!

Front brakes

I have searched the forum but can't find any answers. I know that the front brakes on my MK2 CRM are 20 years old, but I'm having serious issues with stopping power, and am finding on road I'm having to use my back brake a hell of a lot more than I'd like! The front brake was crap when I bought the ...

Re: Spokes

Just wondering how you got on with your wheels and if you found out what spokes fit? I'm looking at relacing my front wheel as some of the nipples have siezed. Any idea what spokes to get and where to get them from. I've built up mountain bike wheels, but first time doing a motorbike wheel, but I fi...

Re: XR 600 headlight

Can anyone shed some light on this???

XR 600 headlight

I'm after a new headlight surround and headlight for my mk2 as the surround is cracked and the lens is partially melted. I've seen the headlight for an XR 600 and it looks pretty much the same as the headlight on my mk2. Anyone know if they are the same? I have checked FAQs and searched but came up ...

Re: Newbie in Northumberland

Just re-read your post Mike, the black pipe between the tank and pump, not the sight glass. Sorry, my mistake. I'll have a good look around the system to be sure there are no leaks.

Re: Newbie in Northumberland

Thanks for the quick replies. The sight glass is clear so I'm guessing the previous owner must have changed it from the black one. I'll try running it down to check the indicator light and see when it comes on. As for the clutch, the lever movement is nice and smooth, it just seems like the clutch i...

Newbie in Northumberland

Just got myself a 1993 CRM 250 and thought I'd say hello. After sorting out the brakes I took it green laning for the first time today, and I must say I'm impressed! Coming from 4 stroke motocross bikes I thought the CRM might be a handful in the mud, but it is so useable with plenty of low down gru...
