Wilwood caliper.

[Mike A Veal-175]

Daft question Les :

Have you made sure that the brake fitting isn't too long where you've
screwed it into the new Willwoods? Screw them in far enough and the pipe
fitting outlet becomes obscured by the internals of the caliper.
If this was the case, you'd have found bleeding bleeding difficult.

Mike
Thanks - I have in fact suffered from that symptom in the past - all these
bloomin different fittings, bsp, npt metric 10x1 etc....some with a concave
taper, some convex etc.  

However, I actually checked for that, all ok, and when I get my wife to
slowly press the brake pedal for bleeding purposes, there is quite an
impressive fountain from the bleed nipple.

My .625 master cylinder turned up today, so I'll fit that in the next day or
two and report back.

Thanks again for pointers!

Cheers
Les

The manual for the 2004-2006 R1 suggests that if the ECU can't send and
receive signals from the instrument cluster then the engine won't start.
This could be a bit of an issue as I don't have an instrument cluster for my
engine (06 R1) and wasn't planning to fit one.  Has anyone managed to get an
04-06 R1 engine working without the cluster, and with the standard ECU?
 
Cheers

Excellent, cheers!  I'm basing my loom on the bike loom but I suspect by the
time I've finished there won't be much of it left.
 
I've been spending many happy hours waiting at airports for the GF while
reading the R1 Haynes manual in mind-numbing detail to see what parts of the
loom I can leave off and what parts I need.  Top fun... ;)
