Hi @husoi, OK, try taken out the pads, and using the rear brake pedal , carefully push out the centre piston abit. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and carefully push the piston back into caliper, as you have changed the seal's you should be able to do this with your finger's. The brake fluid should go back to reservoir. If there's resistance and you can't push with finger's try with anythink you use to push back in. If again it pushes back and fluid returns to reservoir. Then I would probably look at the seal's again in centre piston. You can do this quite easily, I normally push piston back then clamp hose, pull out piston with bearing puller, then you don't lose any fluid, clean seals and caliper, refit and carefully open bleed nipple while pushing brake lever slowly, that should bleed air out. Finger's crossed.

Hi @husoi, sorry away on holiday so have limited Internet. So if you are having problems with rear brakes. try finding out which circuit it is. i.e i believe you have 2 brake line's to rear caliper? Push the pistons back in so rear wheel turns. Now clamp off the line to the centre piston near caliper. Small pair of mole grips if you haven't got a brake clamp. Then pump the rear brake lever until the wheel lock's. Does it then release??? If it does then try and switch to other line and try again. If it lock's then it's probably nothing to do with rear master cylinder . When you bleed system do you have to do it in order and (bear with me on this) do you have to bleed secondary at a angle, not as fitted on forks!!! Hence you may have air trapped!! But try to figure which system is giving you trouble first.

Where to get QUALITY jets
oldgrump replied to Hairsy's topic in Old Motorbikes, Projects and Restorations
Hi @Hairsy, try allensperformance.co.uk used them often, don't forget a lot of low down misfires are caused by the airscrew/mixture screws holes being blocked, and not the pilot jet. -
