This might be a repost, but I can't find it anywhere. I have a Nissin clutch as a hand brake and it works good for about two blocks, after that it starts to get really stiff to the point that the hand brake doesn't squeeze anymore forcing me to bring the bike down. Does anyone have this problem? Would a brembo or a seperate caliper solve this problem? Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Is it a suzuki master? If so then yes wheeliest made a thread on how to fix it.

 

I don't want to sound like an idiot but where can I find that thread?

 

Wheeliest thread was how to fix the problem bleeding the GSXR radial front masters... think you have a totally different mc... Is it just hard to pull or actually doesn't apply the brakes?

Sounds like it has air and the first few times you use it it's soft... then it gets pumped up and you can't pull it hard enough.. might be the setup on the bars and lever length.. post up a pic of MC and of it mounted..

 

Why would the set up affect it? I've bled this handbrake a couple of times, and it's always the same, I don't have pics. at this minute but the lever length is not short.

 

i thought he was saying the brake gets tight like its locking up

 

i had the same problem with a zx7r clutch master a while back, never worked out what it was, if you got the $$$ get a brembo
