tokico 6 pots ( yawn)

[devojunior]

Hello and good afternoon to all those who havnt died from the wind today,

i have a zx6r with the dreaded tokico 6 pots which have been stripped cleaned new pads ect but im really struggling to get a solid lever even with braided lines iv tried the convetional way to bleed and also reverse bled them with big fu%$ off syringe but still a spongy lever

please see other post about z1000 4 pot nissin conversion.

Master cylinder rebuild?

[whitedevil]

spongy leaver means air in the system still. My zx6r has a bleed nipple at the master cylinder, maybe you overlooked this one?

Bleed at the m/c as well


I had one of those bleed nipples on my Gixer thou at the m/c,makes it easier but just use a rag to stop the fluid going over the plastics.

Pump the lever a few times then crack the banjo bolt open,then repeat a few times.

I just replaced them with 4-potters on the gixxer... direct swap no brackets required, instant brake improvement. Just need a pair for the ZX9 now.

Get rid of them, and get some 4 pots from Nissin. ZXR P1, happy owner of 4 pots from Nissin.

Have you wrapped the bleed nipple threads with PTFE tape to prevent air from being sucked back into the caliper during the bleed procedure?

Ah the old Tokico 6 pots. What I ended up doing is attaching the hose from the nipple back into the res and just kept pumping the lever - creating a big loop with the res being the vent. Switching between callipers periodically.

This seemed to work but did take a fair bit of time.

I had a similar experience when I rebuilt mine.

Have you tried cracking the bleed nipple off with a pipe on it and leaving the other end of the pipe submerged in a tub of brake fluid and pumping the lever? This really works a treat you can get so much fluid through the system in a really short space of time.
