i have a hand break on my 900 but it seems to be week not as strong as i would like .. and help or suggestion..




the way its hooked up is just ran another break cable to the master cylinder..

 

so you just have a line running to a double banjo bolt on the rear master cylinder?

 

bleed it..

 

definately. i use the smaller 14mm 9rr master cylinder for my handbrake and an 84" stainless line. it took me a week to get mine bled right. i had to use a vaccumm bleeder and move the caliper and master cylinder around while i was bleeding to get all the air out of that huge line. mine has more power and better feel than my front brakes right now, it'll lock up the rear in a heartbeat.

 

yea thats how i have it ... thanks for all the input and info im going to try to bleed it yet once again....

 

but you got 2 rear calipers though.

dude if your running 2 master cylinders on 1 caliper its not gonna work unless you have that special combination valve thats made for stunters for this purpose

 

ya, now that i read his comment, it's not going to work dude. it's only going to push the fluid back into the resevour of the other master cylinder.

 

if this was for me i got a pic so you can check it out

 

I acually make those at my work. GP tech stuff. Pain in the as$ to bleed. But it will work. Watch it though this set up is supposed to be used for a thumb brake, much lower pressure applacation.

 

Now what I am talking about, so people don't think I am bull sh!ting is the insert that goes into your rear master cylinder. Not the whole set up with lines and master cyclinder at the handelbars.

 

Man the offset between your mastercylinder and piston is huge!! You got the right year stuff on this thing???

 

OIC your rearsets are bent to He!l

 

i hope its the right stuff i just got the bike and thats how he had it set up and i been bleeding and playin w/ it to try to make it stronger

 

I was looking at the bottom picture you posted. Where the piston (Threaded rod, with pivot) goes into the cylinder. Looks a little bent. Sometimes it gets like that if the rearsets are bent. If your foot brake doesn't bind up your ok.

 

See picture

 

yea i just looked at it , it is bent so im going to check that and see what happens but thank...

 

i have a new problem w/ the set up after hours of bleeding i got them to work but heres the problem the rear break work but only for a sec if i pump the hand break it makes the rear foot strong but for a few pumps then goes weak again and suggestions or ideas!!!!

 

DOUBLE H that bitch

 

Somthings a mess. Leaks???

 

hey man thanks for all ya help but i just took it off put a new master cylinder and going to run another break on the bottom on my swing arm
