I got a ducati hydro clutch. Finally got my dual caliper set up done. It's on my 954, but it doesn't feel as firm as my front brake lever??

I bleeded the lines..over and over. etc.....

I don't know what to expect, because there's no one here w. a hand brake. I'm having 2nd thoughts and kicking myself for not pick'n up the 929/954 front master brake......Am I just asking too much off the ducati unit???

Should I just swap it out for a honda unit???

 

Anyone???


I looked around..I heard the new gixxer 1000 front MC is suppose to be better then the 929/954??

 

If you're running a dual caliper setup, the lever should be pretty firm....just like the front brake. I have the fitting set up on mine, and it's still pretty solid. I think you should switch m/c's......alot of guys with the Duc m/c say its spongy.

 

try using zip ties to hold the lever really tight against the grips overnight. I did that with my single caliper set-up, it's rock solid and works perfect....and its the first time I have ever bleed brakes before, was a suggestion from a friend. Give it a shot before you spend anymore money.....oh yeah, I have a GSXR1000 master cylinder (14mm) too tho

 

I'm think'n about getting the gixxer MC...How do you like yours???

 

 

works fine....all it is, is a Nissin 14mm (or 5/8") front brake master cylinder bled right side up, then flipped upside down. IT WAS spongey when I first bled it, and for a day or two after, but then I remembered a buddy from ruff ryders (Sugg) showed me how to tighten up my front brakes after he bled them.....he uses rope, I set it on like four then he had me squeeze it in as tight as possible and hold it, then he tied it off getting it a lil tighter, left it over night. the next day, set on 3 it was tighter and smoother than anyone elses brakes set on 1 or 2!!!!! I did the same to my handbrake, will lock the back tire up with one finger and medium to low pressure!

 

Yo....Is this the gixxer one??????

 

my 02 gix MC reads "5/8" on the botton

 

Well. I'm trying to buy one. I don't know if this is the correct unit..


Holla if you think it is.

 

not a clue....see if it reads Nissin down the side, then it should have a size on it. Didn't remember to look and dbl check the size of mine. Bill at fullthrottle told me one was better than the other, but I do remember the sizes were 14mm and 5/8",....not sure which is better, but he told me the one I had was the better one. I got it free from a friend so I was fine with the crappier one
