111R : Windscreen Washers

[Wee Loon]

Every time I brake, water comes out of the washer jets, so much so that I've got to fill the reservoir every day. Shouldn't there be a valve in the line that prevents this ?. If so maybe it's not working properly, comments appreciated.

Hi,

There is a small one way valve about 150mm from the washer jets. You can see it if you take the RHS front cover off.

They all do that Sir, It is a special way to cool the brakes and to save weight on endurance races.

More seriously, I would check the connections and check if it is mecanicaly related (loss due to weight moving forward) or related to the use of the pedal (electric problem with brake light for ex.

Definitely mine has not this option
