Spongy brakes sorted,after using two bottles of fluid to bleed the brakes and still no joy,i went thru every manual and parts filches i could get and found no reference to the plastic washers that came with the new brake shoes and were fitted between the caliper piston and brake pad.today i removed these and instantly had a solid feel at the brake lever,the only reason i can think of removing them helped it allowed more fluid into the caliper body because the pads with washers had the pisons right back into the caliper therefore no room for fluid.any way its a result ,anybodies thoughts on this? bikerburke
