I can feel the rear brake ? anyone knows for how long?

RSVx · Jul 29, 2011

Ok.... just got back from the shop...

after (the least) 1 hour of painstaking brake fluid work , we got lever feedback!!!

first of all, I have to say its not one man job ( you definately need more than 2 hands)

and 2nd , w/ the caliper in place, you ain't going nowhere....you have to take it off...

I almost ordered a kit of rearsets ( I thought that was the only chance for me to get brakes on the rear wheel)

but now, I have decent brake on my right foot...

JUST WANTED TO ASK....are the brake fluids going to "break down" (chemically speaking)?

Is the result going to disappear after one or two long trips / brake pump overheats? :crazy

Make the most of it, it'll fade away soon enough.

Ah'v just sorted the rear wi lots o swearin an at least two hours labour. Needed it sorted fur fudfest and mot. If it lasts long enuff tae pass ah'll be a happy camper.

ha, i got mine,rear, working for the mot,my ex mate[bike mechanic] yeah right, ****. said its not working there's too much lever travel, he over adjusted it, i dont use it that often but it ate a brand new set of pads in 8 months, it was dragging but not so you'd notice. needs more pads for the sept mot.

its a twattomungous thing but even if you dont ride it and simply take your eyes off the back brake ... it will disappear faster than a puppy rapist at an RSPCA dinner dance

I dont use mine so dont ken if its working well or not

I used mine not long after I had the bike. Hardly did a thing. I tried it again last week - did even less.

For MOT not sure what they look for. Perhaps it works a smidgin or some other useless unit of non-brakingness?

you expect better when it is stamped with Brembo oan it. supprised they have stayed quiet in all this, what with the abuse that everyone gives this subject

ok .... my brake fluid turned into steam yesterday...Literally...

got the T in the traffic boiling at 97 degrz , after some 2 or 3 lights the rear piston became rotor's best friend and didn't want to let go...

so with the rear caliper stuck I decided letting some fluid out of the system to "soften" it .. after the 2-3 first drops I got more steam than peter Gabriel on my brembo...

anyways ...back to nothing again

someone mentioned about Ducati rearsets that were compatible with our dimensions .... any chance?

I can feel the rear brake ? anyone knows for how long?
