Default A little update

I,d like to say a huge thanks to forum member "Tex"

He came over to help me bleed my brake system on sunday afternoon, tho it wasn,t without a slight mishap .......

Terry had asked me before we started if I,d checked all connections were tight in the brake lines, yes was my answer..

filled up the M/C & started pumping the pedal, bleeding each of the rear drums & front calipers, must,ve done it about 4 times each, still not getting a firm pedal......had thoughts of the nightmare that Ash had with his brakes,

I then noticed a small pool of fluid on the floor.....guess who hadn,t fully tightened the brake pressure switch????

Once that was nipped up, I,m glad to report that the brakes are now leak free & has a firm pedal pressure

Which only meant one thing....another little test drive still grinning from ear to ear.

So, a BIG thanks to Tex, cheers mate .

Am now considering to doing a track day next saturday night ....must resist lol

cheers
andy
