I’m hoping it is as simple as needing a fluid change, if not and I need to do something more drastic, are there any recommended brands of pumps or racks? I had the pump replaced a few years ago and if that has failed already with minimal miles I would like to ensure I get quality this time round - the garage last time said they struggled sourcing the pump which is concerning

Excuse the slow reply, but thanks for the responses, on closer inspection one of my pipes was cracked and the pulley is a little wobbly so I am going to replace those and see how we get on. Going to go with the Whifbitz pulley as I figure they would only stock parts they would use themselves so it must be half decent. I’m not sure how I missed it in the first place, need to improve my search skills!

First off, take off the res, clean it out. Theres a fine mesh gauze that gets gummed up, clean that before you think about pumps.

 

Wobbly pulley is nothing to worry about

 

The pulley moves around 2mm each side but straightens up when the throttle is opened. Is this really nothing to be concerned with? I wish I had the tools/facilities to be taking the Supe apart, unfortunately I don’t so it will have to go to a garage to get it sorted and might as well get it all addressed at the same time
