That's what I've been trying to find without any success. The stock Brembo Master is 12 mm. There's a company Midwest Mountain Engineering that builds a replacement Brembo master cylinder for KTM's and other enduro bikes which reduces clutch pull 50% But I sent them a pic of my bike and they said their unit wouldn't work. Also I've searched parts catalogs for slave cylinders on other models (Brevas, Griso, etc.) and they all appear to be the same unit.

Yes the '78 Le Mans is cable and feels much lighter than the V11.

Yeah, good idea. Long overdue on bleeding. I got the lever on the 4 setting which the closest in. Thanks DOCC! I'll have to pass on the "Spendy" part

I've always felt that the clutch pull on my Cafe Sport is kind of heavy and as I've advanced in years it's becoming more of a problem (spoiled by my Multistrada I guess). I've done a lot of online searching and haven't found anything applicable. Does anyone have any thoughts on reducing the clutch pull? Thanks! John

Dave, An absolutely drop dead gorgeous bike! Of course I'm only saying that because mine is identical. Cheers! John

Yeah, but I had brown hair then. Come to think of it I had hair then. Cheers Dave!

Isn't that an old MG Magnette two toned sedan across the street? Had one of those in my hippie days in Venice. Abandoned it one morning on Pacific Coast Highway in El Segundo on my way to work. Ran out of starter fluid.

Misery loves company

Jeez Louise! It's just the small button in the middle that pops off and exposes the hex hole. I thought the entire thing was a cap. Duh. I'll just go sit in the corner now. Thanks guys!

Yes docc that's it. I've been trying to pry it up without success. Guess I'll have to resort to my Dads' advice for solving problems "Apply yourself!" Cheers! John

Can anyone tell me how to remove the silver cap that covers the top steering head pinch bolt on a 2004 Cafe Sport? I've loosened the top triple clamp bolt as per the service manual but can't remove the cap. Thanks!

xroads, check your messages.

docc, I ordered one of those recently and they're not usable. Note that the attachment screw holes are not slotted hence they can't be adjusted for proper millivolt reading.

Thanks Stew!

"we set the valve lash to Raceco specs, and it's never had an idle hiccup again." So what are the Raceco specs? Thanks! John

I have to agree with Frank. On my ''04 Cafe Sport with high bars the stock foot peg position made no sense. Why raise the bars but keep the pegs in the same place? Pure torture. Go with the Motratechs like I did. John

Luhbo, thanks for the numbers. Yes sorry, I left out the K. Chuck, good idea on the vacuum leak. I'll check it.

I'm still hunting for the source of my engine "hiccup" problem and thought I'd check the coils since the hiccups only happen when the engine is hot. Does anyone have the resistance specs for primary and secondary coil circuits? I'm getting 1.3 ohms primary and 3.3 secondary, assuming I'm measuring correctly. Thanks! Jazz

Dave, almost forgot. Here's the disemboweled TPS. Just don't stare at it too long. You won't be able to sleep. The photo is so tiny I had to stare at it for a while. Having only loosened the TPS to adjust it how does it work? Sorry Dave, uploaded the largest high res version from my phone. Don't know it got so small in the process. As to how the TPS works.. I'm still in that primitive state where technology is indistinguishable from magic.

LowRyter - thanks for the pic! luhbo - The sealant also makes it tough to adjust. I'll skip it. Thanks all, I think I've got a handle on it now!

They are? Where? https://ca-cycleworks.com/pf3c $82 = cheapish. I've got one on the way. The MG part from Harpers is $302!

docc, it's perfectly clean. One thing I noticed is that the shape of the sensor housing doesn't conform to the circular shape of the throttle body so there's an open gap between the two. Previous owner had filled the gap with ATV gasket sealant. I'll do the same. Roy, looks like two possible positions to set the spring so I'll put the rotor in place and see which spring position will allow full rotation. Thanks guys!
