He rides it and tests it,I can't feel it when I'm riding tbh

The ironic thing is a had an old banger that passed every time with worse brakes and this newer bike fails,first fail I've had since 125cc days

Can you take it anywhere? I have ten days,ATM its free

It passed on the braking machine

That symptom is typical of air in the brakes. If you keep pumping the lever quickly you'll probably find the bite point moves out even further.

Try reverse bleeding, if you've not already.

Any idea why it seems to it when I push the bike back or forward a little? Stationary its firm

I might let them bleed it,messing on bikes does my head in sometimes

No pulsing under braking,the fork was ever so slightly bent and he straightened it,only thing that was broken off was the mudguard mounting tab which I had welded back on

Idk if the caliper mounts bent of not,but the fork leg supposed to be straight now

I hope you've cured it

It's doing my nut in,mine ain't spongy they are sharp every time it's just the lever comes back a few mm further every now n then,to me it's trivial as I've got really good braking still but I'm not the mot man

Took the brake caliper off the side it had the impact and packed it up,then rolled it and applied the brake,no lever movement so maybe it's a bent disc? Pushing the pads in slightly

I can't feel it when riding but it seems very slight,I took the caliper off wrapped it in rag and put it onto of the mudguard then rolled the bike backwards and forwards and the lever didn't comeback,whatever it is is pushing the pistons in slightly

Good job yours was an easy fix,ican get the disc straightened if it's that

It's just the same mot,I ain't told him it was a write off,somethings not right on it though

wazza300 · 3 May 2016 at 14:14

I managed to dig out one of my old zx10r front discs and fit that,they are pretty much spot on,it doesn't do it now

So looks like a damaged or warped disc,my fault for not getting it checked with the forks

If he fails it now I'll ride it into the local canal :mad:

wazza300 · 3 May 2016 at 17:22

It's passed !!! Wooop

@Scooby idk yet might enjoy it through summer (summer lol) then decide whether to keep or sell,trouble with me is im used to old hacks and its a job to look after a new machine

@BenJi its an arrow gp2 end can/decat pipe,ive given it some stick its got more power than my older one,the brakes are ace

EDIT: oh and I took full advantage of the supercorsas today

they look nice with a gold disc
