So i got tons over presure hand and foot brakes are solid as a rock but will not lock up wont even stop me any more, brake pads are fine plenty of meat on them, WTF??? someone help me out here.

 

you spilled something on your pads

 

make sure your sliders are clean and lubed.....if the caliper can't slide back and forth then it won't work for ****

 

Did you get grease / brake fluid / Pam cooking spray / or any other chemical on your pads or rotor? That will usually do it.

Clean your rotor with carb clean and a brillow pad and try some different brake pads.

Goodluck.

 

or what mike said...lol
i didn't even think of that .....

 

+1

 

check for leaking crush washers., specialy the back of the rear master, where the rear caliper line bolts..

 

that's what it was on my bike last summer

 

Right on for the quick responses,
So any kind of lube for the caliper, the only thing I know that got on there was brake fluid

 

I personally like to use a little dab of axle grease on the sliding pins, but there is a specific lube made for it that you can pick up at any parts store, and it's usually free.

 

everybody is making sense so listen to the advise.. make sure everything moves freely, the sliders are lubed, pistons are clean and work good, clean your rotor with brakecleaner, scuff up your pads and clean m with brakecleaner. should work like new after ridin m in for a few minutes!!

 

right on I put everything to use you guys said and its working like a chizzamp took a coupl trips around the block but its good you know whats funny is I called honda and yamaha and they could not tell me **** f-in tards tellin me the caliper doesnt work anymore theifs.
Thanks fellas!

 

such dumbasses!
