    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just how often do you remove the brake lever? :-k

After the first go-around when you are sorting everything out, you should only have to flush the brake fluid ("other MC stuff") every couple of years (which does not require removing the lever) and you should only have to remove the brake lever when you drop the bike on that side and break it.

In my feeble mind, that is much like the arguement that I see so often for wanting to install pods on the carbs: "it's so much easier to remove the carbs". True, but here again, clean the carbs properly, you won't have to remove them for several years. I don't think that enduring all the aggravation of re-jetting for pods will offset the minor aggravation of removing the carbs ONCE every several years. But that's a topic for another thread, and it's my personal opinion (to which you are certainly entitled :D).

.
Call it a personal thing,it seems like every 2nd time I do take off the lever I forget the switch thing is there. Squashed more of the stupid things than I care to admit:oops:Yeah I should remember it's there but it I doubt that will happen.I'd just rather do a pressure switch and be done with it.The OEM switch does it's job but I just think the pressure is the better way to go.
 
sounds like either you ordered the wrong pitch thread, OR they sent you the wrong ones.

That's what I thought too. But after the third one didn't fit, from a different source, I had the machinist at work measure it. Right thread pitch but at the top end of the diameter tolerance -at least for that one. None of those, though were from Z1.
 
i have one installed on my 87 GS450 its for a nissan brake set up works fine for me...
