Scooterotica

hi i have just fitted a new scootsrs outboard disc brake have bled it up but is leaking from the top and bottom banjo bolts i have changed the washers but it is still doing it any ideas

My LTH is doing the same.....lol.

I had a similar problem with a used SPAQ diec brake recently. After advice from Mark on here I changed the banjo bolts to shorter stainless ones and some new coper washers both from sellers on ebay. Instant success The banjo bolts can bottom out before sealing properly the shorter bolts prevent this from happening.

ok thanks i will try that first

have had similar issues with two of my bikes....managed to cure one by buying new olives on ebay,and trimming the braid back a little further,also i put a dab of hydraulic seal on the threads before i nipped it up.ok thus far
think next time id buy a brake line pre crimped as the thought of dot 4 dribbling over my paintwork(which has happend before)does worry me

Use DOT5 won't take paint off but a bit more ££££ but not as much as a respray
