They have always worked but been spongy and not like other brakes I've had on motorcycles. Early on I had the rotor stuttering problem. Replaced rotor and pads and its worked all this while but not as good as I liked. The rear brake always worked better and oil came out as soon as I cracked the bleed screw. I will go try it in a few minutes on the way home and report back tonight after I'm home from some meetings. rj |
Great news. I hope you notice a difference I have. Like I stated earlier, I just ran a vac line off the bleed screw into my measuring cup, opened the bleeder and let it gravity bleed for about 5 fills of the master (almost 3 oz). Then finished with the "open/closed" procedure when my helper showed up. Piece-o-cake.
Look forward to your report. Mine felt more firm, less spongy.
