    Hey fellas,

    Fired up the Z last night after sitting there for about 4 weeks, took it around the block - no brakes! Can't get it into my mechanic as there booked for the rest of the week. Looks like the Brake Master Cylinder is toast..

    Is anyone willing to have a look, help fix this? I may need a replacement cylinder..

    Can throw a few hundred dollars your way for the trouble.

    Otherwise I wont be able to make it :confused:

    Flash any fluid in the reservoir?
    If there is brake fluid there. Try pumping the brakes a few times. If you have been sitting there fora will there maybe a air bubble.

    Fill it up to start with and then check you brakes, you have a leak but it is should be come obvious, but atleast it will work.

    Ok, close to sorted. Filled up with Brake Fluid, pumped the brakes a bit got pressure back, couldnt see any leaks, took for a drive :br:washed it and all seems good. I'll check it again in the morning, if there is a small leak, I'll find it.

    Thanks Dave :zlove:

    I'll tip that if you can't finda leak your brakes were never bleed properly last time the fluid was change and the air in line was pre pressurised. Anyway, it will be sorted, not a big issue to fix if there are leaks in the brake system.

    Trying to get to the cruise myself, so we can chat if you like then
