Front brake problem...

Post by photomike666 »

After another bleed and a few runs to bed the pads in, I finally have reasonable brake pressure. It might take a session to be 100%, but I have confidence it will pull up ok

On the test pulled up good from 80kph, lever felt better with each run. Fluid ran clear with no bubbles on each side.
