Big shout out to the excellent service from Mike at Bikers Discount Store I have a Accossato master cylinder that had brake fading issues. After bleeding you could get a decent brake for a few laps but then the lever would come back to the bar. No amount of bleeding after the fluid had gotten hot would have got a brake again. This master cylinder was around 10 years old and I knew it needed serviced. I had just bought one for my other bike and didnt want to buy another new one if this could be repaired. I had searched for a repair kit for Accossato but could not find any. I did see a post here from BKD mentioning that they serviced Accossato master cylinders in another thread. So M/C sent off and received by them on Monday. I had a chat with Mike who provided the details of what was needed to upgrade the internals to newer type. It arrived back in Northern Ireland today. Great turnover time. All the old bits returned with it too. It will be out on the track again in a few weeks time but i have no doubts it will be grand. |

It's not the falling off that worries me, it's the landing.

Thanks Kwaki :-)
The reason no one
will supply an internal service kit for them is that unlike OE cylinders
where the piston is usually retained in a set position by a circlip, in
Accossato (& other performance cylinders) it is set by an adjustable
retaining plate. If this is set in the wrong place you end up with
brakes either binding on or not working at all. We now
have the assembly tooling and parts to do this in house so can turn
Accossato cylinders around in a matter of hours rather than the weeks it
used to take sending them back to Italy.
