I've seen some later Brembo masters fitted with a bleed nipple presumably for this purpose?

They have top bleed nipple on brake side but not clutch master cylinder

I still can't get the bugger bled,that's a good idea utopia I will try it tomorrow

It always struck me as the obvious thing to do...taking the slave off and raising it up. same applies to the rear brake caliper.

Be aware that you can shoot the piston out though. Best to put a cramp over the whole lot with some wood or something as a cushion....Or in the case of the brake, a bit of ply or summat in between the pads....

Taking the slave off and holding it up worked ,a big blob of air came out and and now I have a clutch
Need to change my square tyres next,putting bt016s on

Syringe (correct spelling?) full of clean fluid onto the nipple at the bottom. Fill system from the bottom up, it will prove full when you start filling the clutch res'. Don't squeeze the lever while you do this as you'll block the hole, and take care as it will probably squirt out quite keenly and cover some distance when the line is full. Wlonce the line is full then bleed from the nipple as normal.
It's a tad faffy but works well.

hello nice people,is the front wheel spindle a 14mm a/f key ? Ive left my manual at home and want to buy one today

[slob]

I bough an oil drainplug wrench which does 14 & 17 just hold it in a socket

Can anybody tell me the oil cooler fittings sizes please ? I need to change the fittings and pipes

anybody , i would like to order some today ?

Some people were mentioning it on a thread a few weeks back but sodded if I can find it now. I know Slob chipped in and perhaps DrD as well? Don't think the thread was about the cooler though, was a side convo but I'm not sure. I'll have another look later

Update I put a Dyno jet kit in this week and wow what a bloody difference it's really smooth now no flat spot and goes like stink

[Dirty]

Aha, found it, but not sure if it will be any help as it's for the 1000ie, don't know if the 900 is the same, sorry http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...light=oil+pipe

Pretty sure you want M14x1.25,
I'll check the receipt.

rode to work this morning and found a big oil leak coming out of my rear cylinder,Ive just changed the oil but dont know why that would make any difference.
How big a job is it to change the rear cylinder gasket ?
ok just done a search its the base gasket or a buggered o ring ?

Bit of an update,I changed the o rings and base gasket as the leak got worse.Also one of the cylinder oil pipe bolts was cracked and was leaking.Touch wood I'm leak free now
