Default Re: Epic brake problem

Hmph

Looks like i need to try this cable tie method.

I have braided lines and replaced my front caliper seals sometime during the summer.

For a while nice feel to lever stopped nicely also got it on setting 1 and always have, then it started to get spongy and the brakes just didnt feel nice, so i bled it through nice new fluid and again it felt really nice and stopped nicely as well, now how ever its gone back to being spongy and s**t again, pads are good, disks are good everything tight (although i keep noticing a slight leak on rhs caliper bleed nipple which i keep nipping up)

If i give this cable tie thing a try and still same problem reckon i should look into the master cyclinder and replace the seals? or shall i just buy some gsxr calipers and adapters as after riding my dads ninja (with his lever position on 6) even the slightest touch and the bike stopped!

I wouild say if you are having a recurring leak at one of the bleed nipples that the air could be getting in there, and it sounds like the nipple isnt seating correctly. Fix that, rebleed and it should be ok
