Dont want to **** on the fire but my rear brake on the 996 will lock up and is quite effective. I use the rear often so may be that helps. Use it or lose it. Strip it down,give it a good clean get rid of any shiny/polished bits on the pads with emery paper,give it a serious bleed whilst changing the fluid. If it works after that . Keep using it to keep it in good nick. How the hell do you get it through the MOT if the rear brake does'nt work ? 4D

It quite rightly failed the MOT first time, so I took it to Pro Twins who kindly bled the fekker and it worked fine for the 3 or 4 presses required to pass the MOT. Simple.

I have not felt the need for it out on the road, and now it's been a year or so without it. It's a bit of a shock when I get on the missus' Daytona for a spin though.....

Ade.
