| Thanks guys. So no real solutions as yet.
The st4s is an abs model, so it does have the pump behind the rear cylinder. Front brake is fine though.
It was perfect last year for the first 4kish miles from new until I started doing lots of 1st/2nd gear work in the mountains, then it just went.
The 996 was the same. As good as gold on normal A/B road riding, but get up in the revs in low gears for a while and bye bye rear brake.
I would guess the ST is getting a little warmer than usual as she doesn't use any oil normally, but the mountains can see her use half a litre of oil in a day (300 miles of very twisty stuff).
Nelly, what I was thinking of was to make a plate and bolt the plate to the enging, then use different bolts to mount the cylinder. I know it might offset the lever slightly but has to be worth a shot. Going to try to get some material and give it a shot. If it works I'll report back. |
