DragonRider Posted May 24, 2012 Share #1 Posted May 24, 2012 Got the new battery in, and after a short charge she started up..........that takes a load of my mind. Now I am having problem pumping up the rear brakes, cant get the fluid to the rear caliper, I can hear it pumping air into it, but no fluid, I tried every trick I new and nothing, did everything short of tearing the cylinder down, but it was working perfectly before I tore the bike down for the repair. I am open to suggestions................PLEASE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am open to suggestions................PLEASE!!! Someone within the last week had a similar problem. They ended up gutting out the proportioning valve and it bled out right away. Not saying this is a great idea with linked brakes, but it did work. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted May 25, 2012 Share #3 Posted May 25, 2012 Try pushing fluid through it backwards, get new pump oil can and a piece of hose attach one end to oil can full of brake fluid and the other to bleeder on rear caliper, pump away till it comes out master cylinder, should work on front calipers also if air locked.

Yammer Dan Posted May 25, 2012 Share #4 Posted May 25, 2012 Glad to hear it runs. Clean Proportioning valve?? But it sounds like it is trying to put fluid back there. Just keep bleeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
