Re: Frustrating brake fade!!!!

are you grabing the end of the break lever or do you have it set up so you are grabing half way up the lever because the full throttle set up and a brembo should be pimp

Re: Frustrating brake fade!!!!

yea may be your pads are not grabing that good or you have to clean and lube the sides on your caliper and i would scuff the pads alittle while you have it apart and clean the rotor real good

Re: Frustrating brake fade!!!!

Its also possible your lever is not adjusted right...turn in the adjuster bolt a little bit, your piston would then get that much of a head start...

Re: Frustrating brake fade!!!!

does your rotor have cracks? that will lessen your braking power. an watch the angle of your resevoir. when you wheelie you could be sucking in a little air. i have mine angled so in a wheelie the resevoir is level.
