Brakes - final stage
|
I now have a replacement brake lever fitted. The brakes are bled but
there's still a lot of lever travel. The lever comes half way back to the
bar, then the brakes engage.
How do I lose the travel?
|
You've still got air in the system.
|
*Still*?? I flushed almost a whole bottle of brake fluid through before
the lever snapped, and there weren't any bubbles coming out by the end. Sod
it.
|
A little trick some use is to pull the brake lever tight and tie it in
position. Leave it overnight and the brakes should be OK in the morning.
|
Yeah, did that bfore....
Yamaha obviously designed their Fazer breaks with a little air trap
somewhere, I've never had this much bother before.
