You haven't lost the span adjuster knob on the MC have you? I'm sure I spotted one bike at oulton on saturday without one but didn't think anything of it bizarrely???

No, everything is there.

Mark found a picture of the spares kit here:

It looks like the ball on the pin had pulled through the washer, so need replacing as above.

I spoke to Steve Tuckey at GPR regarding master cyl/caliper servicing last week. I was trying to persuade him to supply me with some spares for everyone in case of this kind of thing, but he's extremely reluctant to do anything other than offer to service kit himself as he's seen too many bodge jobs.

I can understand his point of view given the liability isssues placed upon him for supplying and me for distributing, and it's obviously not a profit-making exercise at GPR as labor is done at cost, so I'd recommend whipping the master cyl off and sending it back to GPR. Bit longwinded I know, but it's the one bit of the bike that you really don't want going wrong!

Cheers,

Ali

Agree with Ali, and GPR turn them round pretty quick.

Given that s/h radial m/cyls often go for as much on ebay as you can buy them new (if you get the ACU discount) I decided to invest in a brand new spare in case of mishaps at the track.....and so far haven't needed it!

It'll be really obvious - the lever doesn't stay in the normal position where it should be, but flops forward out of hand reach. You can still operate the brake as normal though.
