Well after about 3 cups of tea and 1 beer I'm still no better off. The best I can do is probably .3mm of movement from the pistons with the adjuster wound all the way out. It does get slightly better with it wound in but it is still very spongy. I'll leave the lever held in over night and try again in the morning. I did notice It tends the squirt oil out of the reservoir when I pump the lever, is it normal to get back flow like that?

Cheers guys I will try all of the above and fingers crossed it works. New pads are still in the packet ... I've made that mistake before ?

Gday all, So I've been having trouble with the AJP front brakes on my 2013 300 factory edition. When I first got the bike the brakes were fine but felt abit spongy and weren't performing how I would expect. So I flushed them through with new brake fluid and thus seemed to work for maybe a couple of hours on the next ride and than they went to **** again. So I thought stuff it and gave the master cylinder and caliper a rebuild with fresh seals and bought some new pads to eliminate any problems. Well this seemed to create more problems than it was worth as now I can't seem to get any pressure at all. I've tried back bleeding, pressure bleeding and any other sort of bleeding method I know but can't seem to get them to hold any pressure. I can see any leaks anywhere and everything went together without issue so it has me stumped on what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers Matt

Thanks for the replies. Yes this would be my first trials bike. Im 6'3 and 125kg, being my weight i will probably have to put heavier springs in. Are heavier springs hard to get for this bike?

Hi Looking at a Cabestany 2007 Sherco 290t on the weekend and am wondering if there is any common problems with this model bike i should look out for? Also what are the main differances between the cabestany and the std model? Thanks Matt
