My god doesn't one of them rattle your brains and frighten the crap out of you. Couldn't get off the gas through fright.

Thanks AGE

Thats a good thing mate, the best way to deal with a tank slapper is to accelerate through it, if you were to shut off the gas u are likely to make the slapper worse not better.

Ok sorted the trapped air. Cabled tied back the lever over night and hey presto all seems fine now.

Just can't have lever on the shortest setting i'm used as it still comes right into handlebar sometimes. This is due to the warped discs "KNOCKING BACK THE PADS" as AGE as mentioned.

So new discs now.

makes sense...

warped discs could be overheating the fluid, introducing air..

tying the lever back is a good trick innit?!
