gp tech handbrake problems - Stunt Discussion

anybody have this problem?i have a gptech adapter and 04 r6 master(even tried a 06 gsxr radial)and bled it perfectly.the lever feels great but the stopping power when past bp sucks ass.it seem touchy when you start to use it but like when i go for hb coaters it just falls back on the bar no matter how much pressure i give it(unless i lock the wheel up)but i have to grab it with 2 fingers and squeeze the hell out of it to do so.i'm almost positive there is no air.anybody?

sounds like you still have an air bubble in it. while in a wheelie air rises to the highest point, I.E. the break lever, or rear master depending on where the bubble is. keep on bleedin it..i bet youll find some more air.

i run a 02 foot master and gp tech fitting on my 03 R6, with a r1 radial, had to bleed it like crazy, but works fine. i keep my idle down when using it though.

should try a Brimbo for a hand brake or a Magura much softer
