cheers for all the advice, especially goudrons about the pads. anyway i must eat some humble pie... i've just replaced the pads with brand new ones, and guess what? thats it, the brake is now working fine. im still confused as to what and why this has happened but hey who cares . a local bike mechanic told me about pads looking like cheese (wedge shaped) and, to cut a long story short, put brand new in. it has taken 3 weeks of banging my head against a wall and a couple of bottles of brake fluid. so in future my first port of call will be, make sure the pads are fine (new) before stripping everything else down........ axbol

here here, same on my rev3 250, kept trying to fire and then popping and farting

thanks for the replys folks. the reason i wanna go to a 2 pot is the 4 pot is doing my head in. it got cooked, not by me but my mate. i then replace seals and pistons. it would not bleed for nothing. the pads are fine by the way. so i took the front caliper and put it on the back. it bled perfect in about 10 secs. working fine. i then tried the back caliper on the front, same problems. i am assuming it is warped, even though it looks ok. even swapping pads and pistons and everything else i could think of i have totally give up on it. thats the reason im thinking of a 2 potter up front, i know it wont be as good??? but what the hell, it cant be any worse than the feker i've taken off. once again thanks for all the replys

Hi folks, does anyone know if it is possible to swap an ajp 4 pot caliper over to a 2 pot caliper. the reason i ask is the front cal on my 2004 beta rev 3 250, is shot. its a bit dear, me being poor, to buy a new one. the 2 pot caliper looks like it will fit, but not sure. i would be happy, i think, with a 2 potter. the 4 pot has been nothing but trouble since i got the bike. thank in advance..
