full throttle hand brake question

paulieb1979 · 09-08-2007, 08:26 PM

I just installed my hand brake kit on my f4I, i used a 06 gixxer front brake master cyclender every thing is installed and bled the system 2 times with the gixxer master right side up. here is the problem the lever is so hard to pull it hardly even moves and when i do pull it, it pushes my foot pedal all the way up. but i have to really squeeze it to get the back tire to lock up but my foot pedal still works as normal

Make sure you bleed it from the master itself. Pump lever and hold, then crack the banjo bolt and pull lever to bar end, then tighten banjo bolt back down. Do this to the little bleeder valve also. Every handbrake raises the foot pedal when you pull the HB lever.

i run a 03 636 master on my stuntbike with the fullthrottle adapter and it works great, its spongy but locks up(wierd right) but i jput on a 06 gsxr 1000 master on my streeter last night and it is rock hard but still works but not as well, mind you my stunter is a 06 636 and streeter 06 gsxr 600 not an f4i, i think the radial masters suck you need the 03 04 636 master
