HI GUYS,
First of all thanks Dave for all the help so far. I ve really enjoyed my little rt so far(owned for 2months now)
Evrything works pretty well so far but my rear brake was becoming really weak, so i ve checked it out with a garage and they said it was the mastr cyl that was done for. Ok so i ordered a new compatible one for dirtbikes similar bore size. Fitted and bled fluids etc..But still no reresponse from brake caliper.
Then i took apart caliper and cleaned pistons, changed the seals and lubed it all with red rub grease.
Bled system again, this time the calipers worked but only very weak brake power.
So lastly i look at the brake disc and there about 3mm thickness left on it. the mark stamped on it says min 3.5mm, do you think that s where i need to look next?
I asked graham mz dealer for quote £132($200) way too much...
Question is there another bike which has a compatible disc? Or do i look at another source of the problem?
