My thoughts are with everyone concerned, I have been involved with numerous railway fatalities and a couple of bike fatalities and afterwards have shed a tear at everyone. It would have helped so much to have been on a forum like this to release the feelings. I'm so glad Tim had you guys by his side and hope you can now deal with the traumatic event you have witnessed. Please take care everyone! Mike.

Bandit brakes
gravelrash replied to gravelrash's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
Not been able to do much due to work BUT thanks for all the response Stan the pistons move back smoothly under hand pressure so not sticking pistons. Ian original discs so unless contaminated shouldn't be an issue and have new stainless pad slider pins in. I have just bought some Bendix brake pads (come highly recommended from some dedicated track day mates)and will change the EBC HH sintered ones I have in to these and update the results as i think its a brake pad issue -

air in clutch (again)
gravelrash replied to haveugot1's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
My push rod is a little corroded and I Know they can be replaced with stainless but I don't recall seeing any problem with yours when the chain/sprockets were replaced Mark. If there's air getting in then there's a leak and fluid must be getting out. Have you tried doing a fluid change and a thorough bleed? especially check the Banjo fittings around the cluch master cylinder and slave cylinder and that the bleed nipple is tight and isn't weeping. I can't see fitting the bikini sprocket cover would have any bearing on air in the hydraulic system, hope someone has a bit better advice for you mate you and it gets sorted......... anyway more importantly whens your swinging arm coming out for bracing and polishing -

Bandit brakes
gravelrash replied to gravelrash's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
Done this numerous times Stan lasts about a week then returns back to no bite which is also why i'm ruling out air in the system, if doing this works initially my thinking is it has to be pads or discs and I don't use any sprays or bike cleaners anywhere near the brakes to contaminate them. Lee posted that his brakes are the same so not sure what it can be -

Same as Stans reply Mark if it was air wouldn't it manifest itself as spongy brakes,more lever travel to compress the bubbles. Mine has a firm lever, just no bite. So pads been the cheaper option is the way to go i think as EBC have'nt worked for me i'll try those you suggested mate! ..... when i get chance -
