Title: just done my least favourite job on a bike
Post by: sadlonelygit on 22 January 2014, 03:18:44 pm

Fitted a 2 line goodridge hose to the fazer. I don't own a mityvac or similar so it's a big syringe on one nipple and the other cracked off to let the air out, then pump up the m/c until you get pressure then bleed as normal.
As an aside, anyone fitted a radial m/c and what size?
Was thinking 16mm piston (ubiquitous nissin).

My GenII has a brembo radial MC off an R1.
It says 16 on the MC itself so im guessing its a 16 but I was always under the impression that the 6 potters needed a 19?

Pretty certain for 6 pots the R1 calipers have quite small pistons, so a 16 suits. Tok 6 pots/nissin 6 pots do really need a 17/18mm m/c piston though
