i would have had to stop on the way home to make it in time ... i'll measure the 1krr line

 

Dont worry, i found somethign. I think its a spare from a gixxer i built. tokiko 2 piston (opposed) and the line is just over 2 feet

 

because you're a 40 somethign yr old guy from florida. just testing a stereotype

 

im from mass and i will be 39 in april....lol

bastard....lol

 

but i have had alot of camaro's and fire birds so your theory does have some merit...lol

oh yea and jeans and t-shirts for life...

 

my first car was a berlinetta

 

new line on, preliminary bleeding done

time to try it out!! im a little excited

 

remember the pads are not gonna grab good till there broken in

 

and it takes a little longer then regular to brake them in

just when you think there broke in they get even better after a day of riding

 

time to go do some laops around the block with the brake on

 

no no no no just brake for a few seconds and then let it cool for a few more just a little pressure every time and don't over heat them.....

 

so, i get my **** solid, no bubbles, good solid feel. then i ride it, and it feels like its full of air. i have to pump it 5 times to get it to work

but when it does work, oh damn does it work

so i figure i have a bubble, so i go back to the lab. grab the lever one more time before i hook up the bleeder again, and the lever feels solid again

did some more testing and discovered that when the bike is rolling, it has no brake pressure. when stopped, full pressure returns as if it never left.

My suspicion is that my rotor is warped, and every revolution of the wheel pushes the pistons back in, since the caliper cant float.

I have a few rotors in stock, but my attention span for working on bikes is done for tonight I think. Im gonna go smoke and play musical trailers, then maybe i'll swap out my rotor

 

maybe thats why coasting on my other bike goes so much farther than this one

 

easy way to check that is pump it so it has pressure and let it sit for a couple minutes and if it still has pressure then just lean the bike over on the kick stand and run the bike in gear for a second the see what the break feels like if it gets soft after spinning the wheel then yup i agree with you ..

and i wouldn't doubt that it is warped just by the way you said you were gonna brake in the pads ..lol

 

so far these pads have about 6 seconds of use on them

 

I want to ride ... but my girl has my truck at class

 

neighborhood killing

got a light?

 

no i meant it probably is warped because of how you have broke in your previous sets of new pads....

driving around the block with the brake on is how a freind of mine use to brake his in....lol

needless to say his brakes never worked good

 

bummer

 

yeah i'm all set up .... except my ***** still salvage ... i have a plate thats not for me - i need to stop procrastinating and get my **** inspected
