Z750 Brake Lever Play

ant · Post by **ant** » Sat Jul 15, 2006 10:18 am

Alright,

Front brake lever on my Z750 has a heap of movement in it.

I've adjusted the lever using the rotational device on the top, and it's still giving me a heap of movement.

Note that this movement is not play, when you pull in the lever the brakes are operational, it just takes a bit more of a pull in slow ya down.

In essence, from a non-pulled position, to a completely braking stop position is more than I want. How can I tighten this up?

Sounds like a symptom of something going Pear shaped.

Check the Pads & if they are OK change the Brake fluid champ.

Let us know how it goes.

Bike only has 5500kms on it, and hasn't been ridden hard.

I've read somewhere that the Master Cylinders on the Z750./1000 are crap, and according to riderforums.com, are prone to the symptoms that i have.

Going to try and bleed the brakes and see how that goes.

Who want's to help
