I bought a hand brake from moto heaven bleeded the god dam thing for about 3 hours went through 2 bottles of dot 5 and this dam thing is still soft. whats the deal with this thing am i bleeding it wrong or what? i am dieing to use this thing.

 

First off buy a break bleeder, you should be able to get them through your local auto parts store. And second make sure your o-ring in the cylinder is alright, they tend to break alot. Also you will have to put some exhaust straps (Like on your radiator hoses) on it so the gp fitting does not continue to be pushed out.

i was thinking of wraping the line with something because the brake line runs right by the rad hose. brake bleeder? something like a pump were is this o ring located. today was the first day using it and i got the seat standers slow as hell but when i scrape it it seems like i have all the brake pulled in and theirs no more left to bring me back just keeps falling over.

 

If your running the whole moto heaven setup than you will have there own brake master cylinder and lever setup. On that setup wht the lever is there will be a setting that you can change to give it a softer or harder feel. It will take a flat head screwdrive to adjust it and that should help things out alot, just make sure you dont adjust it super tight because when your rear brakes heat up it will cause it to stick and then youll have to adjust the piece back out.

no doubt dog i saw it but i didnt want to f with it. i will give it a shot. moto heavens been good to me and so has there products thats why i was a little disappointed but ill bet thats the problem. thanks alot bro i let you know how it works out!

 

Yeah bro they have pretty good stuff but you definitely have to watch out for the seals where the gp tech fitting goes, cause sometimes they will break and when that happens there goes your hb. LOL. Thats why I am fixin to weld my fitting on my rear master cylinder. NO More Leaks and No More Orings to bust. LOL.. OOOHHH and No More hose clamps.

Good luck and keep us posted on how it runs. My boy was having the same problems you are having thats why I kind of know what is going on. Good to have a test dummy ridin with you to test everything out. LOL

Peace Justin

 

Ps, try taking a screwdriver and opening the caliper ALL the way... then bleed them, then repeat. I had to do this before I got my handbrake to work... PS, re-use your fluid when bleeding, no need to use 2 bottles.

 

Exactly, after pumping a bunch out I finally ran a long clear hose from the bleeder to the resivoir so it would just recirculate. Also with the clear hose you can see the bubbles and know when they stop. Do the caliper thing also, I had a TON of air trapped in mine.

 

Ohh I see how it is non of yall fools can give me props for helping someone out. Derek your just a ****blocker and Kyle well we wont go into that long story. LOL. Kyle Ill hit u up tomorrow about ridin.

Peace Justin

 

good idea..ill do that next time i gotta bleed my brakes.

 

well today i tighted the nut on the brake lever and it was a lot stiffer i was pumped so i start rocking some seat standers after awhile i the brake got so stiff i coundnt even pull it in the clap is is stuck the wheel wouldnt even move but when it cooled down it started to seem ok till it gets hot? had no tools so had to leave the spot iam so pissed i dont even miss around with it right now

 

just un tightin the nut about to see if it works.
by the way justin YOUR THE MAN thanks for the help bro.

 

I could Be very wrong, But I ran DOT 5 in my frount lines and it caused them to work shitty. Then I fushed it and used DOT 4 and it worked well again

 

your right, dot 5 is different unless its dot 5.1 then its fine

 

Yeah Ive never run anything except for DOT 4 which has been good for me. Ohh and yeah you definitely need to keep a flat head screwdriver with you so you can dial it in while your at the spot. I guess I forgot to mention that too you. LOL. Once you dial it in, it should be good for a little while until either the seal brakes or the line just gets some air in it. Every so often we have to rebleed my boys so it stays stiff but thats fixin to change once we aluminum weld the tech fittings to the actual rear master cylinder.

Peace Justin

 

i got it working nice for a while but it does seem like some air got in there man i was use that mf all day, besides that after f#$%&^ with the screw for awhile it was nice and stiff. maybe ill try to get that fiting welded on. thanks bro, ever in buffalo give me email ill buy you a beer.
