Re: Front right caliper
I've tried a few Calliper service kits over the years and they never lasted for me. Same for Master Cylinder kits. I replace the whole units now. Even a good 2nd hand one is usually a better deal... |

Re: running on one
I had to drill out a couple. I ended up using a left hand drill bit. Don't use easi-outs. I had to replace one with a small nut and bolt. A cheap kit like this did the job fine, Left hand drill... |

Re: running on one
Please send for the service kit. There's no point in putting the old Float Needle Valve back in. The base-filter unit can be cleaned but they come with the kit so put the new one in. The Float Needle... |

I'm sorry you had that grey one nicked. I'm not usually a fan of faired Motorcycles but that Grey one is beautiful IMHO but they are both great :) |
