ScootRS anti dive disc conversion

[pg42]

Hi does anybody know where the black bracket provided in the kit fits? I don't have any fitting instructions and can't find anywhere to fit it. No rude suggestions thank you.

Is that the bracket that can be welded to the fork leg when / if you are happy with the set up ?

[pg42]

Could be Toddy. If it is, where the hell does it get welded? There is a hole in one end but......
Cheers

There's some pictures either on here or on the other site which show where the bracket for the anti-dive should be welded to the fork leg. Broadly the fork leg , link and anti-dive bracket should form a parallelogram.

You can get a bracket that bolts on to the fork leg which allows you to find the best position before committing to welding.

Pictures are worth a thousand words thank you. I opted to use a bolt on clamp that came with the disc. If I ever get the bloody thing bled properly, I look forward to trying it out. I've tried the normal method and the syringe method. Syringe fills the system up to the top banjo but stubbornly refuses to fill the reservoir. Does the brake lever have to be in any special position or what?

If your filling from the bottom with a syringe and pipe through the bleed nipple it should naturally take it up to the master cylinder pushing the air upwards with it ( unless you have a blockage?) then one up there you work the lever and bleed normally through the bleed nipple to obtain the brake .

Sounds like a blockage at the top banjo , take it all apart ( don't get any fluid on your paintwork ) and check that the little hole in the inside of the banjo where the pipe connects to it is not blocked then check the bolt that goes through the banjo for blockages

Cracked the little Fekker! One of the holes in the master cylinder was blocked with crap. Cleaned out, slowly slowly with the syringe and hey presto! Thanks for all the help and advice, KTF!
