Hi guys,
Within a week of having my RSV bike I boiled the brake fluid at Mallory Park and had the lever coming back to the bars.
Under the advice of the forum I bled the brake fully and replenished it with the expensive Silkolene Pro Race fluid.
I got lever travel to zip with no air in there, but after hard riding it always seems to get a few bubbles in it. We're not talking everytime, but maybe after 2 weekends of riding? (200 miles perhaps?)
Usually I just bungee the cord back and crack the nipple to let them out, then it's fine but I know this isn't ideal practice.
What's the cause? Is it old hoses, leaky master cylinder, leaky caliper seals or something altogether different?
It's an 03 Mille with non-radial 4 pots and I'd like to cure this over the winter if possible.
Cheers!
