I had a lil low side spill at the island last friday and seemed to have damaged my Brembo M/C 19x18.
The lever pumps fine and the brakes work but the lever will not spring back and pretty much stays applied.

I was chatting to someone at the track with the same M/C and he told me they have a built in breaking washer (or something like that) and that i need a repair kit to fix them.

Just wondering where i would buy these from and has anyone had any experience fixing these units?

Thanks

Alex

Alex, yoyodyne sell them as mentioned and kurvygirl or locally as steve as mentioned. It was me you were talking so ;)

Very easy to fix.

Remove lever, Remove rubber seal, remove circlip, pull out breaking washer thingie, remove the pin. Install new pin, install new washer & circlip, install new rubber seal, reinstall lever

Kit comes with instructions.
