Brake bleed question
Hi
I stripped and cleaned the calipers on my 2000 curvy at the weekend, replaced all the piston seals and fitted braided hoses and new EBC HH pads. I refilled with DOT4 and bled the system completely (as far as I can tell).
The brake works and is much stronger than before but I'm still not happy. The lever pulls halfway back to the bars before acting and can be pulled all the way to the bar. I was hoping that two or one fingers on the brake would give good stopping power and that the lever would be almost solid within the first few mm of travel.
I'm wondering if I'm expecting too much from the master cylinder and calipers. Can anyone advise what a properly bled stock system with braided hoses should feel like?
Cheers
Ian
