Hi all, I could really use some help! My bike has a sticky throttle cable and a leaky brake fluid res (little black box on handle bars?) have the res taped up at mo, but bike needs mot and i know it wont pass in present condition! I have a throttle cable but need new res, can anybody help me get one and know how to fit it and cable?...... can't afford shop labor rates but happy to pay somebody...... can anyone help? live in Newbury.... Thanks xx
Well as far as the brake res goes I would get a second hand one of ebay second hand ,go for the complete unit including handle bar mountings and lever, it will probably be alot cheaper and easier ,even better quality than replacing it with a genuine part,if not ebay try ringing around local breakers they are usually knowledgeable and helpful, may even put you in touch with someone to fit it cheaply to .
Heres a web site with a list of breakers inc phone numbers.

I'm a bit too far away to be of any physical assistance sorry.
Good luck

PS In case you are not aware do not let brake fluid come in contact with your paintwork it will take paint off just like paint stripper!
HI Pinkbutterfly,As regards to sticky throttle cable,the best thing is Silicone spray the one with the thin tube applicator,sprayed onto inner cable at handlebar end open/close throttle few times to work down cable repeat until feels smooth plz dont use oil on cables it gums up the works makes them worse. ps use spray on throttle linkage as well it's brill for that..
Only just seen your thread, been at a loose end most of the day. Is window actually broke or leaking around edges? how soon to mot, I'm on holiday till 11/12 June. If you had parts I could sort it on an evening when I get back. Any help?
Right Ive never seen one of these before or worked on one, BUT am aware that most of the manufacturers use the same part on multiple bikes. here are some i found on ebay.

after some digging i think the partcode is
KS125-23 Brake Master Cylinder (Front)
30016*1066*RBP125
and these are available from:http://www.chinesemotorcyclepartsonline.co.uk/search.php?type=30016&manufacturer=Superbyke&st=a&model=RBP125#results
hope this helps
Update:
Avon is now the name of the importer their no is 01179728769.
your bike seemingly was sold under three different names and makes, really common amongst chinese stuff.
apparently theyre not made anymore ( the bike) and they dont hold spares for this type ( he wouldnt give me a part no as he says they just dont have one). but as i thought, he also states that alot of these bikes were mass manufactured , . NOw he reckons thay could have used up to 3 different master cylinders on one one model in the same year and these differered by batch. BUT they should all fit, as all of them no matter what the thing looks like, (so he says) all have the same banjo bolt brake line fitting thread. so you could use the ones staed above.
so there you have it.
Hello ppl, please help....
Got a vfr 750, 86 model, has a rattle, (not baby) been told its tappets but have valves and shimes and recently been told its not a tappety noise....I know its difficult without listening to it but....local bike garage wants £75 just to take a look, in other words im blonde and dumb and they want to charge me to tell me, or not, what my rattle is!!!
Any ideas anyone????
Thanks alot
probably cam chain tension very complexed engines tho Wenders best to get a profesinal view is it the early custom version or fully faired sports tourer as custom version was a really weak design cam buckets and chains ,
