Re: Suzuki Radials For HB's
I don't know if its has only happend to me, but I feel this is why I have herd so many bad stories about people not able to bleed GSXR Radial MC's. so heres how you fix them.
1: How to find out if your gsxr radial has this problem is simple, dis connect the reservoir and brake lines then drain it of all brake fluid.
only thing u need attached to the MC is the reservoir hose and lever.
Make sure your bleed screw is tight and now either attach anold front stock brake line to it or put your lips against the master when the banjo bolt goes and blow into it. listen for the air to blow out of the reservoir hose, if u can't hear it then most likely you can blow any pressure through the line/banjo bolt hole.
2: So now you have diagnosed that your gsxr mc is not alowing reservoir feed.
3: And here is the fix, take your lever off the MC and then put it back on, notice that you have to put pressure on the rod that pushes the piston into the mc... now that the lever is off u can blow pressure through the banjo bolt hole, simple fix is to grind away little by little to the end of the rod that goes into the lever that actuates the piston in the MC till u can slide the lever retaining bolt through the MC with out compressing the piston., here is a picture of therod u need to short lightly.

Thanks,
I have been threw just about everything the yesturday trying to figure out why my brakes were locking up and I could not figure it out. I think this will fix my problem!
And thanks to OMR for showing me this thread!

Re: Suzuki Radials For HB's
I completely drained my entire brake system from caliper to foot master to HB master and bled it in under 10 minutes after I did this little modification..Suzuki radials are best for stunts.
