Hey i got the ol' RR back together and now im trying to get the brakes working. I bleed them and they are working, but the front is very cushony. You can grab them as hard as you want and it will grab but not enough to get the *** off the ground. The rear isnt too bad but I would like it to be more responsive also. What am I doing wrong?

 

are you bleeding them right? sounds like its got air in them
buy one of those "one man bleeder valves" just hook it on and it will let the fluid out but wont let air back in

 

Where can you get that at? I have bleed them reall good and I know how to bleed brakes. Ive had bikes all my life. So?

 

about any good auto parts store has one,but yeah as long as you know what your doing anyway it might be somethin else

 

Well WTF?

 

I got the same problem with mine. I am getting ready to Re-bleed them and put all new fluid in it as well. I was told to check the cable between the forks where the line goes from one to two. If you got some spare time tomorrow come on over and we can tackle it together....and help me swap out my forks in the process .

 

you forgot to tell him thats a great trade off light labor for hard labor

 

**** man I would but I got work until 5:30. I have en extra set of lines and calipers. Im prob gonna just try them today if the others dont start working. My other problem is the bike seems to want to pull to one way. If you just let go of the bars, it immediately goes to the left. But when you break hard it seems to pull very slightly right... ? I know that my forks are slightly bent. Will this do that?
