i cant figure out my h/b i have a 16x18 brembo with the hohey 4 piston and it works sweet but when i go out to ride it grabs real close to the bar but after riding for about 15 mins it will start grabbing almost another click out like i adjusted it i know its not my master because i had a magura before it did the same thing the only thing i can think it could be is from the 4 piston caliper and i dont think its a problem with mine because ive had this happen with two diff bikes with two diff calipers

so my only guess is that its because the caliper is stationary and has no side movement and when the fluid heats up it makes it grab farther out??? but gsxrs have the same non moving calipers so does anyone else have this happen

 

Could you just have air in your line?

 

bleed lines better. check your brake lines make sure they aint touchin anything that gets really hot ie exhaust!!

 

what fluid you running? hope its not that silicone based b/s ****

 

From what i understand....a brembo 19x18 is what you use for a 4 piston and a 16x18 for a stock piece because of the ratios cause too much feel with the 16x18.

Idk though, i dont have a brembo

 

all rider preference

 

a 19x18 with a 4 piston caliper sounds like overkill to me

 

my front brake and hb both do that,cold they work good but are spongy,but once they heat up they are solid,IDK

 

bleed it again and bleed the master. The brembo's have a zirc fitting dont they? crack the fitting, then squeeze the lever slow, tighten the fitting then release the lever. I did my magura again last night and more air came out.

 

sounds like air in the lines because once pressure builds up it is okay

 

r u useing dot 3 or 4?the dot 4 holds up to the heat longer.

 

i just put in some castrol brake oil, it says it exceeds dot 3 and dot 4 oils... so far so good...

 

**** is bleed good zip tied over night rode then zip tied again and im running that vavoline syth. 4,5 ive always used it and never had a probleem with it so my only thought was maybe its the old 4 piston caliper/bleeder i dunno thanks for the replys normal i dont get ****

 

Bingo. Beat me to it!

 

Try thread taping your bleeder screws they can let air in the system sometimes

 

also trying bleeding from the banjos. somtimes air get hung up there too

good luck.

 

mine always do that when my ebc HH's are at half life, i throw a new set of pads on and its all good. dont have that problem with oem pads thow, weird stuff.

 

anyone wanna make an adapter for my adapter so i can use a 636 front caliper? lol and ill try some thead tape to

 

never been a fan of HH's

nothing like the good old OEM pads if you ask me.

 

well i threw no teflon tape on and new pads so hopefully this will help
