All sorted, and passed the mot today.
Thanks for all the help with this guys, the bike is spot on now.

[quote="fallenmikethebike"][quote="knackeredMk1"]Stupid question - What liquid are you using to fill the master cylinder with :?: .[/quote]
:D Sponge batter :?: :lol:.
Sorry :oops: , well I can't think of anything else that would preclude a good brake now.
Was the lever changed?
I know, on my MK3 ...

Halfords Dot 4 Brake fluid

No I changed everything on the brake setup, hose, lever everything

well, I've got another caliper, master cylinder, lever etc and also the proper Talon bracket ( TB 06 ) all fitted. And the brake is still spongey.
Can the disc really make any difference?

Ok thought not, Im gonna buy the other caliper and all then.
Cheers for the help guys.

Thanks for that voodoo, I found a crm 250 thats breaking online and hes gonna post me the caliper and whole assembly for £35.
I have taken my caliper off its crappy mount, and it has a talon bracket on it but it is a TB16 bracket, which seems to fit the caliper I have right. So im guessing the ...

Does anyone have a spare brake setup ( caliper, reservior etc ) that they would sell? Im gonna get the proper talon bracket and then fit another caliper on as I reckon theres something wrong with my caliper or master cylinder. Let me know as soon as u can because I have 7 working days left to rebook ...

Gonna get a proper bracket for definate, and then go from there to sort the caliper

yeah its a 320mm disk.
I think I will get the right bracket to be honest. will that talon one fit with the caliper I have? As the bracket on my caliper looks different to others I have seen.
Don't think thats whats making the brake spongey though.
Anyone got anymore ideas with regards to the spongey ...

With regards to the lever, does anyone have a close up picture of theres so I can see if mine is correct?

[quote="knackeredMk1"]Regarding the photo - Is that builder's galvanised section being used as a bracket :?: .[/quote]
Not 100% sure what the bracket is as I bought the bike like that.
Thought it may be a mk 2 caliper. Seems pretty similar to how I bleed the brake then.
Maybe something is wrong with ...

Just to double check, is this a crm or an nsr calpier?

Its kinda looking like I'm gonna have to pay a mechanic to look at the brakes as I cant figure it out

Right I've bleed the brake again with a pipe as said, and I also tried the syringe jobbie. And I've bought some new pads for it and its still the same. I'm a bit baffled what else to do tbh.
Just to double check:
I take it you are supposed to do the syringe when the brake lever is out ( not pressed ...

I had a search and someone said to squirt some fluid up the bleed nipple until it goes into the resevior, which I might try if I can get a syringe. I take it you need to do this with the nipple undone a bit though?!
Also the brake does seem like its bleeding alright, there is a nice little stream ...
