I know what you mean, funds allowing I been out every day, slightly colder today but still great! BLW I ride down your way quite often to a place called West Bay, near Bridport!

we usually go from poole to weymouth then up the old coast road to west bay,

It's probably the tiny bleed hole in the master cylinder is blocked or the master cylinder piston it a little bit pushed in (i.e. past the little bleed hole) due to the brake lever being wrong ot having an adjustrment screw too far in. Blow some compressed air down the tiny little hole, clean everything and bleed in completely new fluid.

well i phoned monday and the nice man at wemoto put another set in the post and i got em today

although the seal kit i received is for
"FZS600 - FZS1000 fazer - TDM900 - YZ R1 - BT1100 bulldog or FJR1300"

anyone know if this is right as i don't want to strip the calipers down only to find they don't fit

Edit
had a quick google session and think they should be ok
pistons small 27mm
piston large 30 mm
which is what i got and the same as the tj methinks

Hope they are right!! I would say that those bikes listed have the same brakes as I have owned all of them lol But I would ring them to make sure as I have my doubts they are the same, but what do I know?

It's the piston sizes and therefore the seals that are common not necessarily the calipers.
