Mine once cut out and refused to start. turned out to be the wiring for the sidestand and neutral
had rubbed through behind the left hand side panel where the relays are.
new bits of wire and all good again.

When I first got Avons I had them at 36 - 42 and was about to bin them and get Michelins.
I dropped pressures to handbook recommendation, 33 - 36 from memory and its sound.

Hose the salt and crap off before putting away,
Cover in wd40 or such like,
See on here for a session to acf50 it for you,
leave in garage and take car / train / bus.
Or my method, carry on as usual, wash it when I can, sort it all in spring.

Low powered cars do 70mph
I'd rather my kids were in a car with the better brakes and handling of a higher powered car
if it all went Pete Tong at 70

I once drove my BMW to get to my hospitalised child and I did drive it like a twat.
A bit of tolerance and focus on our own driving and let others do theirs.
Don't like it report it.
I don't now have one and wouldn't as I'm not keen. But it all smacks of jealousy to certain car ownership.

"BUT I would have thought if they fit, don't leak, don't rust (stainless) and don't expand/stretch (braided) then how much difference can there be?"
My kind of thinking.
Going to be a wee while as I want a couple of days together as I expect that bleeding it all through
is going to be a long drawn out process.
New pads working well and have nice brakes, be interesting to see if hoses make that much difference.

General / Re: Doing up an old bike - is it economical
« on: 15 September 2012, 10:21:44 am »
Probably not economical to try and bring up to new condition.
I have the spend or replace discussion with myself every year.
I just keep the 14 year old 69,000 mile beast going.
Looks tatty round the edges, but runs, rides, looks like a Fazer.
Can't buy a new bike for what I spend on maintenance. In fact servicing on a new bike
would cost more.

Removed pads today and three out of four fell apart on removal. New pads and a caliper clean up
later and normal braking is resumed. Well on the drive anyway not had chance to take it out.
These were CL A3 pads, albeit well worn, never had a pad have the material and back plate come apart before
let alone three.
So anyway still fancy braided hoses and found these,

Look just like HEL or Goodridge or Venhill but cheaper, Anyone any experience?

Sound advice guys, does anyone have any ideas as to why its ok'ish one minute and gone the next.
My thinking is that there's no point fitting seals and rebuilding if somethings shot and needs replacing.
ie: calliper or master cylinder.

it does improve slightly after a couple of pumps.
I'm thinking caliper clean, bleed through / replace fluid.
then lines and ultimately seals in calipers and master cylinder.
in that order, around £100 if it needs the lot i think.
