Its been a long time's latest activity

Everything is new on the front caliper except for the body casting. All new internal parts and bleed nipple. New brake line, bolts and...

Great service from Yambits. I received the replacement master cylinder by 10.30 this morning. I'll follow up this when I have worked on...

I would tend to agree. However, I do give Yambits the benefit of the doubt here. And I'll have a new replacement master cylinder here by...

Indeed. I already have the postage tracking number. New master cylinder should arrive probably Saturday morning. Terrific response from...

Agreed. But I don't think it's plugged. I think the U shape piston seals are backwards. That's what would happen if they are. Any way...

Thanks. Tried that a while ago. Tied it back for best part of a week. No difference unfortunately.

Well, failed again miserably to vacuum bleed the front brake after reverse filling it again through the bleed nipple. After another two...

Pulling the lever quickly or slowly makes no difference. I can get no resistance on the lever at all. I think the new master cylinder is...

Good idea. I'll have one more try tomorrow, then if I fail again, that'll be what I do before removing the master cylinder. Thanks for...

Thanks. I think so too. The seller does have a good reputation in the UK and I do actually believe them when they say they have sold...

Spoke to soon. Removed the front brake when I was having a new tyre fitted (pushed the caliper piston back in fully to give more...

Just heard back from the shop I bought the new master cylinder from. They say they have sold around 500 of them with zero returns. Of...

Thanks. Yes the second hole is there.

Having tried and failed miserably today to bleed the front brake on my bike, I think the new master cylinder I have might be faulty...

More like this from AP Racing then. Though early period clutch master cylinders didn't exist so you're going to struggle with that, I...

Magura and Brembo, both have nice sets of matching master cylinders. Also clutch slave cylinders too. Not cheap but quantum leap up from...

Switches hi beam on at a reduced level if the dipped beam bulb blows. Or summat like that. I deleted it just because it's 47 years old...

That looks to me like a reserve lighting device eliminator jumper wire. Nothing to do with the alternator or charging system. The plug...

Domestic chores had to be done today. But had time to get the bike into a rolling condition again. Next on the agenda is left side...

I had a similar issue with the rear shocks lower mounts. My solution is to carefully taper the end couple of threads on the bolt. Not to...

Dreadful weather today, hail, horizontal rain, wind, cold. Unusually bad for mid April, even for England. So not much done on the bike...

Usually, that works :thumbsup:

Well done, what was the fix?

Yuasa has long been my go to battery brand. I have used Motobatt too but they're getting very expensive now. Look out for the highest...
