| MOT Time - Rear Brake
MOT due and I'm concerned that the only thing that does not appear to work on my 2001 748s is the rear brake.
I know the rear brake serves no real purpose other than acting as a brake light switch but its an
MOT failure point.
I've usually had the bike serviced by now and they always manage to do something to get it through
but time is not on my hands at the moment and I cannot get the service ahead of the MOT date.
The pads are good.
Brake fluid clean, brakes bled, no obvious leaks, or signs of air in the fluid.
The lever is all adjusted up and in the right place (Haynes manual)
Bike has not been used a great deal so far this year so it has stood for a while.
The lever operates (although does seem to have a long travel) the pads contact the disc,
there is enough pressure there to stop the wheel turning whilst on the paddock stand but not enough
to stop or even noticably slow the bike whilst riding.
Anyone any suggestions on what I can do to get enough rear brake pressure to get through the MOT ?
