Re: Front brake issue
omly thing I can think of thats not already been mentioned is the tyre not seated correctly on the rim or the wheel out of balance. You seem to have tried everything else When I had the fork seals and front wheel bearings done I got them to check the balance. Since then I've had the front tyre chan...

Re: Front brake issue
How was the condition of the mating face of the discs to the wheel? All torqued up good and even. You have checked the disc buttons to make sure none are tight? Tried swapping the pads from one caliper to the other? I would have a go completley stripping down the right caliper remove and refit seal...

Re: Front brake issue
And finally I get back to this topic! Amazing what a little bit of snow can do - confined to the lock-up and still trying to sort this out! Checked both discs and wheel with a dial gauge, and found about +/- 0.1mm on all of them - in other words no more than 0.2mm difference between the lowest and h...

Re: Front brake issue
I'm running 6 pot Harrison Billet calipers and the original master cylinder, and (ignoring the pulsing problem obviously) the general feel is good and nicely progressive, so don't think I need to look at swapping them out just yet. Only issue is the cost of a set of pads really (around £100 a set as...

Powder Coaters
Can anybody (uk) reccommend a decent powder coater. Both wheels are a bit tatty to be honest, and as it's looking like I'm going to have the front end it bits again soon (see my other thread) I was considering getting the wheel blasted and coated whilst it's in it's component parts. Cheers! Enjoy th...

Re: Front brake issue
Hi guys, Thanks again for the input, sorry for the delayed response, the combination of work and family means I've not been around to catch up with this thread. Firstly, the front axle is definately true, when I had the forks done and front wheel bearings replaced I asked the workshop to check that ...

Re: Front brake issue
Me, I would run two lines from the MC to each individual caliper. Going to one, then looping over to the other seems like it would be theoretically okay, but it DOES introduce variables into the situation that don't need to be there. And, like Stig said....dial gauge the rotors and wheel-don't forg...

Re: Front brake issue
do you have access to a dial guage? strap it to the fork and then check the discs AND the wheel rim for run out Discs (both new and old set) may not be seated correctly against the wheel hub???? Even the slightest of debris will make it feel as if its running out Is one of the calipers dragging? ca...

Re: spark cables question...............
As above states, its a wasted spark ignition, where 2 ignition coils feed 4 cylinders and you get a spark twice every 4 strokes ie. just after TDC is passed in the compression and exhast parts of the cycle (the wasted spark being the one that happens between exhaust and induction obviously). Anyhoo,...
