Master cylinders

I have a ,625 MC on the front circuit, same on the rear. If I want to add more bias to the front do I fit a .7 MC to the front or the rear????

If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

So to get my head round this then, a bigger MC moves less fluid?

And reading that again Im being a dumb ar$e!! Meant bias to the rear, not front! Can lock the fronts but cant seem to lock the rears.

Locking the rears is bad!

Bigger master cyl = lower line pressure
(for a given pedal force)

So when SVA man wants to see the fronts lock before the rears, we are saying he dosent want to see the rears lock at all???

I don't think he'll mind seeing the rears lock provided the front have locked well before. In my experience once he's seen the fronts lock and the rears not he'll be happy.

One important point though is that he will will fail you if you have an adjustable set-up. To get round this you'll need to set-up and "lock" the adjuster/balance bar.

Yup, understand that Ive got to lock the bar, wasnt sure about the rear wheels though! lf SVA man is happy to see the fronts lock and not the rears then the set up I have is ok. Just need to try and bed in the pads and discs!
