brembo squishy?

I just swapped off the R1 master and put on a new brembo 16/18 and it feels squishy is this normal ?. Havent took it out for a test run yet but i notesid that the R1 was rock hard compared to the brembo. Or is this the more feel that a 17 year old wiht his prom date that HAI talks about?Or is it that i didnt bleed it right

Re: brembo squishy?

Didn't bleed it right there is prob still air in the lines

Just keep bleeding and be sure to squeeze that lever while getting the air out, have someone help you its easier

+1, compared to a r1 there pretty squishy, but it only takes a light squeze to lock the tire.

you still got air in the lines


There is NO pump up between foot brake and hand brake on my bike, or my friends.. Gotta get ALL the air out..

You can bleed 500 gallons through a system, and not get all the air bubbles out.

You got to flip both masters around while your bleeding if you want every last bit of air out
