It's the pad spring/chatter spring for the rear calliper. I don't know what way it's supposed to go in! The front two went in no problem and were easy to see where the went, but I'm a bit lost with the rear one.

It's a Honda cbr f2.

Thanks mate. That's the way I put it in but it didn't feel very secure. Might be a silly question... but will it be ok without it?

Whoops, I'm hopeless at typing with my iPhone!

The trouble is I don't know what way it goes in. I'll take some pictures of it sitting in a few ways to see which is correct.

I take it you mean the piece labelled number 4?

Undo the caliper bolt (number 16) and pad pin (15+9) so that the caliper can pivot upwards and the pads can fall out. Press the piston back into the caliper to make some space to work.

There is a recess in the top of the caliper for the spring clip (4), put some copper grease on the back of it first. Then press the spring into the recess so that the two T shaped parts of the spring (4) are on the right of the caliper like it is in the picture (i.e. towards RHS of the bike). The Two T shaped bits allow the RHS pad to slide over them. The other side is for the stationary pad. Then, refit the pads and pad pin (9), position the pads as far apart in the caliper as possible and press the pads hard upwards until they compress the spring. Fit the little clip part (6) and with the pads still firmly pressed up, rotate the caliper down, so that the pad aligns in the clip (6) and around the disk. Press down on the caliper until you have refitted the caliper bolt (16). Use loctite on the caliper bolt (16) before you fit it though and use copper grease on the backs of the pads and the pad pin, refit number 15 with LOADS of copper grease as they are annoying little feckers that seize easily.

Thanks for that Donny. Put it back in this morning and took it for a wee ride, but the back break is still terrible. Don't know why, it's bled
Properly but there's not much resistance in the pedal!

Bleed it properly, I just put a steel braided hose, cleaned out the piston and put a new set of pads on my VTR rear caliper(same if that picture is anything to go by) and its rock hard using nothing but 1 clear piece of tube a 8mm and a 14mm spanner. the main place the air gathered was the banjo on the master cylinder, push the brake down and crack the banjo loose and tight again, I repeated this about 5 or 6 times and it was pretty much sorted.
