Banjo Bolt Pressure Switches

[SVSooke]

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 ).

.

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 admitYeah 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.
