Hi Lemur. Thank you for that, I’ve never tried it that way before! I’ve got a big syringe though, so I’ll give it a go…

Ok so I’ve not started yet….so can you give me a clue / guidance / any helpful tips! I was just planning on pumping new fluid through the system in the normal way by sequentially loosening the bleed nipple, depressing the pedal, tightening the nipple and releasing the pedal….all whilst keeping the reservoir topped up. Will that not work or is it just a pain cos it’s fiddly? Thanks in advance!

That’s great thanks for the advice chaps. I can put it all back together now knowing how it works 👍👍👍

Ok that certainly sounds plausible, but it seems to take up so much volume, unless of course it is meant to be more collapsed??

Got a leak in my master cylinder hose, so I took it apart to replace the hose and found this fairly soft black rubber item inside the master cylinder. It did was not attached to the lid so when I removed the lid it remained in the master cylinder. There doesn’t seem to be any hole in it so I’m pretty sure that the fluid goes into the master cylinder before this does. I can’t see any purpose for it, it just seems to reduce the volume of the cylinder! What’s it’s purpose and do I need it in there? Thanks

I’ve bought this bike a few months ago. Very pleased with it so far, but it’s obviously not been very well maintained, which is fine as I didn’t pay much and suspected that was the case anyway. My questions relate to the exhaust system. Firstly, it clearly has much black coke inside and every time I ride the bike for any more than about 15-20 mins I get a trickle of black oil running out of the lowest joint. I’m running an oil ratio of 60:1 - is this too much oil, hence the black trickle? Secondly, is this silencer designed to be repacked, and if so do I need to drill out the end cap rivets to get to the inside? Many Thanks

Ah that makes sense, thank you.

May sound like a strange question, but I’m sure lots of you will be able to answer it for me! Does anybody what the triangular alloy plate with the large hole is for? It is riveted onto the front of the Airbox and looks like it has been added by a previous owner. I’m thinking of taking it off but before I do I wondered why it was there. many thanks
