Re: CAUTION ON THE USE OF SILICONE BKAKE FLUID IN ESAMATIC BRAKE SYSTEMS

Ahem! Well it has developed into a case that the system blocks up with pressure after about 5 - 10 brake appliations, then you have to hydraulically release one of the wheel cylinders. It came to a head (literally) when we were returning on a 200 mile trip, towing about 750kg of motorbikes. Because it occurs at all wheel cylinders I have determined that it is in the Boost Cylinder. I shall remove it and replace the residual check valve with a NOS item and advise if it cures the problem. I shall also comment on any swelling of the parts as I still do not blame silicone brake fluids at this stage. I agree with previous comments that it is unlikely to be the compensating port. best regards Peter toet
