Guest Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) best thing to do borile... whip the calipers off... take out the pistons and clean them up... make sure u dont damage seals on them when u take them out tho... best way is to put an ait compressor onto hoses and blow them out... failing that.. a rag and mole grips and gently ease them out.. u often find that theres loads of shite behind the pistons that nags up the callipers. the air line will also clean all the crap out of the hoses. check ur fron master cylinder too.. make sure the lil rubber diaphram aint torn or got a split. then rebuild... that should do the trick... no cost to to that except new brake fluid. just make sure u bleed them in properly.

cyberwolf Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 better still take your bike to pidracing house and get him to do it for you Quote
Nell Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Might be difficult when Pid lives in North Yorkhire and Borile lives in Hampshire, evil, as in the opposite end of the country. Quote
Guest Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 that and ive already booked the bike in for work Quote
Guest Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 take the callipers off the carriers & the pads out, pump the brakes & normally the pistons will come out that way. only time i did compressed air the piston did about 50ft across the workshop! Quote
Stu Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 oil the throttle cables dont use grease as all the shit in the air sticks to it dust etc make sure the throttle return isnt too tight common cause with sticking cables make sure one isnt snagged oh and check condition Quote
Guest Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 already ordered it, mind you i do now have a two mile walk with the bike, as they wont collect it Quote
Stu Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 take it to somewhere that will collect it if there is anywhere Quote
Guest Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 ones snapped which one has snapped??? the supply or return cable? Quote
Guest Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 supply cable??Swap the Retun cable over with the Supply Cable (including outers) if they same type of ends.u dont actually need the Return cable. mine snapped too and i did this... it actually made the throttle more responsive too. Quote
Guest Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 I dont have return cable either. lol just thought i would get that bit of info in lol Quote
