Brake Lever Question

ManOfSteel · 05-19-2018, 09:18 AM

My front brake lever on my Hawk 250 is loose. It the cylinder it pushes in doesn't seem to be popping back out. The brake fluid is halfway up the sight glass. Not sure how to fix it. The brakes still work, but it feels like I have to pull hard on the lever. Also, the brake light stays on the whole time.

I can't help you with that. I have to pull hard on mine too but it is not loose.

bad vent in the cap? try taking off the cap and see if that helps.

Is the caliper stuck? Collapsed hose?

I have the same issue, I believe its a bad master cylinder, looking for an upgrade myself.
