Everyone using (or used) a R1 master for their hb...

Is it stiff with not really any movement or feel to it? To my understanding the 04-06 R1 is pretty much the best of the best when it comes to OEM. I know it's not gonna be as good as Brembo but I'm just wondering if this is how the master is, if I didn't bleed it good, or if this master is bad. I can lock it one finger but I gotta use a load of strength and energy to do so.

I had an '02 R1 and its front brake master was among the best of anything OEM I'd used.. not sure if it'd be any different in a handbrake setup though. Super light pull and very progressive.

I noticed a strange thing is that for the first pull it feels really good with a soft feel. But if I let it go and pull it again immediately it'll get super stiff. But if I let it go for a bit then pull it again its soft again...

For a dual caliper setup it would work great but for a single piston caliper it would be super stiff and require alot of pull

that way of bleeing sucks!!!

flush your system with a clear hose and a bottle with a little bit of fluid in it and pump all the fluid out and put fresh in

if u pump fast then you wont get air in there

That was a weak argument. You probably would have been better off saying "your probably not even a real person"
