ZX6R Christmas workshop

Stupidly pleased to complete the update and tidy up. Changed the brake hoses to Girling braided steel front and rear, added new pads and fluid. Delighted with a brilliant tip from Ian Joyce of Bright Motor Works on brake bleeding. Super glue a short length of plastic tubing to the end of a syringe, fill syringe with brake fluid, attach open end to half a turn open bleed nipple and squirt fluid back upwards to master cylinder. Tighten nipple after a syringe full then open and repeat until master cylinder is full. This saves millions of brake lever pumps. Then bleed out any air using a one way valve system, I have a £10 Little Bleeder,by pumping the lever with nipple open until clear fluid fills exit tube then tighten nipple. This can be done in just a few minutes. Great.
