I don't know whether the air could go into solution in the brake fluid at higher pressure or not, but I have experienced similar effects in water (due to heat and/or pressure) in a previous employment testing and developing valves.
But assuming that it could, then could it be that the air is then free to mix throughout the entire fluid in the system, rather than being trapped in little nooks and crannies, high spots etc.......?
If so, on releasing the pressure, some of this dissolved air will now reappear in places where its easier to bleed out. ........???
Just a thought.
Then again, although it is claimed to work, I've never really needed to use it much myself so I couldn't say. But it is a widely held claim.
Personally, I might be inclined to remove the clutch slave cylinder from the cases and hold it higher than the master cyl, so the air can rise to the top more easily, then bleed it in that position. Careful with that lovely new paint though.

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

If air is trapped at the top you the master cylinder won't be able to push it out all the way to the bottom.

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

[Goofle]

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

Ta
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

[slob]

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 ?
