Re: My Mk 3

I changed the hose - still useless. At a loss now what is up with it, there is only three parts to the darn thing, must be something up with the actual calliper, cant see any leaks, have changed the rubber seals, given up. Ordered a YZ full front brake system now so fingers crossed it fits and works...

Re: My Mk 3

Well it fits, not perfect but fits to a fashion. just come out the garage The front brake is still utter shite so its either the hose or the caliper - I think I am going to have to just source something else that is a simple plug and play, sick of trying the bleed the fookin thing now - if someone h...

Re: My Mk 3

Got a master cylinder on the way that I picked up cheap, not sure really if it will fit or is suitable but will see when it is delivered. it's off a Honda 125 varadero. Hopefully it's fine.

Re: My Mk 3

Starts nice and i did a few miles on it last night. I was worried at first as i heard a slight knock at idle sometimes and again when i had it in say 4th at low revs and gave it some beans. After it had warmed up properly it didnt happen again. Something will go one day anyway so i am not concerned ...

Re: My Mk 3

The rear brake now works as it should! Looks better too as I have cleaned it up. Have adjusted the chain - per the manual, slack is 30-40mm but i assume thats on a centre stand. I only have a stand for the swingarm at the moment so will have to see what its like when I get my lard ar5e on it. Rear w...

Re: rear caliper off and brake light

There are no wires to the master cylinder on mine so I am struggling to understand what should go where. Will try and get a pic at some point. Tried to get some brake seals this morning but no luck, will need to order some off eBay or somewhere, then get it back together.

Re: My Mk 3

Thanks, have ordered the bearings and removed the rear caliper, what a mess. The caliper was full of crud, had to lever it apart from the bracket!! Then I had to remove the piston to reveal messed up seals and more crud. Bit of wire wheel action later and its not so bad, need seals though and to mak...

My Mk 3

Should be able to post pics of my bike now. Work done, very little - lowered the rear end approx 25mm with the use of new dogbones and lowered the front by raising the forks in the yokes. I have tried and tried to get better pressure in the front brakes but need a better caliper/master cylinder set ...
