will i be able to put my gilera runner 50 front brake master cylinder onto my typhoon 125. i just want to link up the master cylinder and the hose to the typhoon calliper because the mechanism for the typhoon is so shit, its the hardest thing to bleed. im not putting the gilera calliper on the typhoon or anything else, just the master cylinder with lever and the hose. i only ask as i thought i could just take the bolt that attaches the hose to the calliper off and from that point it would be a straight swap? all help is appreciated
No, the handlebar isn't long enough, the std typhoon brake system is fine if you know how it work's. You need to slack right off the cable and bleed it using the slave cylinder by hand to pump fluid then adjust cable to suit.
why do i have to slack it right off then bleed it by hand from the slave cylinder? that wouldnt bother me i could cut a hole to make it fit
You need to slack the cable off because when it's adjusted up it takes some off the slave cylinder movement and doesn't return fully.
ok i couldnt be bothered with slacking the cable off and using the slave cylinder so i just attached the front brake lever from my gilera runner sp 50 and bled it, it works fine!
