Grabby front brakeyy


Recommended Posts

Start with flushing the fluid. fixes it 9 out of 10 times. Then get back to us!

 

But the front is definately way more powerful than a stock first gen. Both calipers come in together. So unless you first gen is "delinked" it does not compare. A good advantage.

 

The back of a second gen is "overpowered" and will lock easily if you hit the pedal hard. A definate negative.

 

I have owned both.

 

Picked up an 01 RSV the other day..Beautuful bike, and since I've ridden First Gens my whole life, the brakes are a bit different.The right front seems very grabby and catchy...any advice?

Might as well do the clutch and back brake also. When on a hot ride far from home is when old clutch fluid will boil on you leaving you without a clutch!

 

Flushing the front brake reservoir and lines until fluid was clear did the trick..amazing how crappy brown the fluid was...

No more grabby..

Thanks
