Suspension
Another issue was the suspension… after a few laps the rear shock was overheating and the damping was all lost… there maybe a solution… 🙂
I will keep you posted… 😉
Brakes!
Finally I get on with the bike.. after Donny work has taken over but I have the bike back now and so onwards….
The brake was failing after 3 laps at Donington… waiting in the wings was the larger billet caliper from Sip.
That pic is the caliper just bolted on… the real issue was bleeding and getting it to clear the Polini floating disc and centralisation of the rotor.
So… off to the PT Works for some Dr Octopus style hydraulic bleeding. I removed the remote system and simply stuck on Charley’s workshop bench.. ” fix it please” and within 5 minutes its done and we are sat drinking tea 🙂
The real problem was clearance. So … back home I am all keen… but the caliper is tounching the bobbins on the disc first of all … and then I notice that its ‘center’ is different to the piaggio caliper.. (well it is on my one anyway). So… many modifications later its all ‘true’ and only needs to be bedded in.
so all good….. next thing to do is the rear shock that overheated… I will keep you posted… 🙂
