Hey guys, new bike, just discovered the sump plug Allen bolt is rounded. Took the eye glass out, drained it that way and tipped the bike to the side. Perfect. Then I go to refit the eye glass, the damn thing snapped in half! I managed to pull the other half of the thread out with long nose plyers. So, no riding this weekend for me! Anyone know where I can find a replacement? Can't seem to find them online at all. Even a standard bolt if the same size would do... Anyone? Help! Thanks Carl

Glad you're getting somewhere If it's soft as in spongy, it probably has air in the system still. Bleed it through some more, I use a piece of clear plastic tubing wedged over the bleed nipple (bought from an aquatics shop lol) - that way you'll be able to see any air bubbles coming out.. Give the hose a tap with the 10mm Spanner you most likely have in your hand, this will help get rid of any small pockets of air whilst bleeding. I need to do the same thing with mine tomorrow as it's still a bit soft n spongy, got a trial on Sunday

Had this with my rear brake after changing pads and having a nightmare bleeding it, took it for a ride and the brake was sticking like crazy - the heat causes the disc to expand and it will lock on until it cools down. I knocked down the adjuster on the pedal which totally resolved the issue. The movement when you activate the brake is very very small, millimeters. If the pistons in the caliper are fine and moving freely & it's bled properly with no air, only thing I can suggest is your adjuster on the lever. Make sure you're getting a full return on the master cylinder when bleeding otherwise it wont bleed properly.. I took the lever off and used an allen key and a rag to activate the cylinder to make sure I was properly pushing the cylinder to it's limit then disengaging completely. Edit: If the brakes are locking on when the bike is not being used, then it's possible that one of the pistons in the caliper is stuck - this can happen quite easily (as I discovered in my frustration) if the pistons aren't pressed into their respective housings correctly.. too much pressure pushing on one side of the piston and it'll jam up. I'd check the adjustment first of all though and re-bleed with the lever off. Good luck!

Thanks bilks

Hey guys, I have a 2003 rev 3 and I'm having issues with the spring that holds the shifter peg on, I can't for the life of me work out how it fits? I put it on as best I could however after riding the bike tonight, the spring has sprung off and is doing nowt.. Leaving the gear peg in an awkward-gear shifting-pointing towards the rear-position.. Am I doing something stupid here? Damn spring is driving me crazy, how is it supposed to fit? Thanks fellas

Not sure about the noise but that paint job on the tank looks good!
