As above lay the bike down and remove the glass and clean.
Refit the glass but do not over tighten, the plastic can become brittle, just put a socket on it and tighten it with your hand do not use a ratchet or bar, socket and fingers only!!
After some searching around the internet it would appear as the post title states that it is just the brake pad RETAINING clip so its probably put in there for a bit of a laugh by BRAKTEK ...... those kids.
Seems to have a tendency to cause the pads to drag slightly, and speaking to another rider they said that thay had removed it without any problems and the drag disappeared,.
On fitting new pads today I just left the clip out to see how it ran, the shape of the pad will not allow them to move from the correct position.
"The return of Kickstart" Please god i hope not. Worse thing that ever happened to the beautiful sport of trials. Its because of Kickstart that we have the ridiculous spectacle that is euphemistically called Indoor "Trials" bloody ruination of the sport.
Kickstart got my intrest as a boy, as a non motorbike riding family I would not have found the sport!
Just re-read your post if you have put voltage across the two thermostat wires the fan will not run, you need to connect across the fan feed, the thermostat wires are only a positive line that is switched!
Are your wheel bearings ok, sometimes if there is play in the bearings the disk will push the pads back further and the cause you to have a different position on the lever until you pump the lever and then it returns to the original position!
