I've seen/heard it enough times with friends' twins there's no way it's the pedal. It has varying degrees of creepiness but it's always the main pivot.

Quick & dirty:
1. Detach the slave cylinder. Leave the hydraulics alone.

2. Remove the dust boot from the fork.

3. Reach down behind the fork with a finger and feel for the pivot. It's going to be tight because of the retaining clip.

4. Squeeze a decent glob of Lucas Red & Tacky #2 in there with your finger.

5. Jiggle the fork to distribute the grease as much as possible. It'll work in more on its own.

6. Put a dab of grease in the top pivot where the slave pin goes.

7. Reassemble.



Ok, @humfrz, who else needed to see this post? I know I forgot someone.
