I have a friend that has a 1200 Goldwing and he has problem bleeding his rear brakes. He Bleeds some of the fluid, fills the fluid up and closes the bleed valve and resourivore lid. When he pumps the rear brake peddle he has no break pressure. The break peddle goes all the way to the bottom with several pumps. Does it over again with the same result. Any suggestion?

Two weeks ago I replaced the rear tire and put progressive springs in the forks. Also replaced the rear brake pads while I had everything apart. To compress the pistons in the caliper, I removed the bolt from the rear master cylinder to relieve pressure. Cleaned all brake parts, and bled the line following the factory manual (rear caliper, front caliper, metering valve, in that order). Around town the brakes work fine, but if I don't use them for awhile out on the road get no action from the peddle. It is very soft and depresses quite a ways with no stopping action from the rear/front left. If I 'pump' the peddle it returns enough to stop the bike with just the peddle. The front right is having no problems. I'm not sure what to look at next. It seems to me that if they start out tight and work around town that it wouldn't be the master cylinder, and it can't be brake fade from a misaligned pad heating up because it affects both calipers. Any ideas?

My 89 VR is beginning to give an intermitant scraping in the rear brake. I'm not sure what starts it, maybe bumps in the road, or what makes it go away again. It is still there with the clutch disengaged, but goes away when the brake foot peddle is applied, returns when the peddle is released. The rotar doesn't feel scared, and the caliper assembly feels solidly attached. Is it likely just pads worn out? Is there anything else I should be looking at when I start taking it apart. I've got the rear caliper schematic so feel free to quote ref. #'s if you want. As well, any suggestions for after market or well priced brake parts online?
