    my new wr front brake is occasionally not there ?????

    you only have to pull :laugh: it twice and then it is there again …..and don’t think it is fluid level

    its happened maybe 3 times now?

    What do you think I am a brake Doctor? Dr Axel BD? Paging Dr Brake…. :)

    I have seen a front brake work perfectly and every now and then pull to the bars. The problem wasn’t fluid or air. Something wrong with the brake master. Warranty Bob. You may as well put it on the list of faults and get Yamaha to fix them all at once. ;)

    WHat’s wrong with powder coating anyway?

    While it looks great it chips easy sadly :(

    Yes and eventually water and moisture gets under it and rusts your frame from under the coating with little pinholes of rust coming through.

    Yep Adam is spot on. Grab wheel – knee pressure calliper in. Start pumping lever and repeat if necessary. If your anal I mean particular like me, it’s a good idea to do this when you park it in the shed for the week. It won’t go spongy again.

    I think there have been complaints the colour of the Clark tanks are not exactly right. Better off restoring your own – especially if your going to ride/race it!
    Hey Moto man, what sort of paint job will you do? Hopefully not powder coat.

    Cooked fluid should be replaced. Just did bith ends of my orangahundy on saturday. Dark grey fluid ooops. Did clutch too. Katos are finicky to bleed there is a trick.
    I have used Castrol Super DOT4 in cars and bikes for years without issue (buy at SCA)

    I’d have one in my shed for sure. The only problem as always are the fun police (RTA and Poolice).
    Even if you bolted some pedals to them it would still be deemed too powerful for the road. Perhaps the changes to the legislation they are/were going through might make it easier. Wonder if anyone here knows?

    Hey Pete perhaps a shaft/direct/hub drive would be more appealing?

    Hi Chris and TB. Site works great for me from Google Chromium Blouser and from Google Chrome on the iFone.
    Awesome job and congratulation for the hard work. For all you crying babies that have problems – suck shet. :D :D ;) :D

    No need to thank me, I feel the love.

    It’s a 3hr+ drive isn’t it? We can leave at 5am, anything earlier will kill me. I’ll be very quiet at the end of that day I can tell you. I’ve don’t get a reasonable sleep like you lot!! I have a baby here!
    Otherwise Friday afternoon after you get back from work is possible (that’s if we have somewhere to camp). I am the “chauffeur”, correct.
