So we can get a seal set for the rear caliper now? Woohoo!!!! about time!!!!

Although the rear caliper is ok at the moment as it was given a good clean over winter the m/c is another matter though :angry:

Do we need a part number or anything to oreder from roadrunners?



Edit: what's the cost of the seals?

No part number needed, just ring them and tell them the details of the bike.

Surest way to make sure you have all the air out is use a hand vacuum pump.

A lot quicker & more thorough bleeding.

If it is still spongy after that it'll probably be m/c seal blow by.

When i ordered my new one it arrived in 2 days, for £40 it has to be the better option. :thumbsup:

650 brakes, same as a thou. I reckon all the original master cylinders ( rear ) had a type fault.
new ones seem OK, my rear has been fine since I changed the master cylinder.
Stay calm.
