Brakes done now, all good.
1 advisory on Mot, rear tyre. Using for 23 mile ride to work. All going good. 250 miles in just over a week.
Does anyone suffer with small misfire from 1 cylinder on choke? No issues when warmed up? Carbs balanced, plugs changed.
All the best

Bought some cheap pads until issue sorted, then will look for recommended pads. Looked inside master cylinder today and only see the one hole. I believe there should be a small hole, 0.5mm, that acts as a return/breather to the reservoir. Will keep you all posted. Cheers JB
