Alright, what the shit is going on with my damn front master. its the stock 06/07 GSXR600 Nissin Front Master. Rode the bike 50miles after I bought it last year. Not a problem. Replaced all stock lines with Stainless Steel Russel Lines with brand new crush washers. One line down and One crossover line. I filled up my ressy with MOTUL RBF600 cracked my master bleeder and waited for gravity feed....nothing after waiting 10minutes. Hmmm, pumped the handle a shit load and bled it normaly...NOTHING. Hmmm, got the vaccum bleeder Pumped it up to about 20psi...fluid sucked through the master immediately. Sweet, did the same thing on each caliper pulled fluid through no issues. Get the bike out and go to take it around the block. Made it 2 miles and front brake I could feel getting stiffer n stiffer until errr errrrr er. LOCKED THE HELL UP. wtf? had to have STUBBZ bring me a wrench on the side of the street so I could get the bike home. had this happen to a couple other bikes and its always the front brake lever cuz theres a little bushing within the lever that if the plunger isn't within the hole itll build pressure and lock up. Didn't think it was it, but screw it why not look at it. Nope, lever was fine. Soooo I re-bled the entire front, made sure everything was tight. And the son of a bitch did it again. Hmmmmmmmmm, I fill my ressy's to the very top and put the cap on and catch the excess in a wrag so theres no air. Thinking that might be the issue where the fluid cant expand in the ressy I took some out and tried it again....fucking fail! WHAT THE HELL IS MAKING MY FRONT MASTER LOCK UP? someones gotta know.
Another note...on my handbrake. This is my first Brembo 16x18 handbrake master. I have it on my HoHey DCB with another SUZUKI signle piston rear caliper on stock rotor. I cant get it to lock up the rear wheel while riding up to a driveway or stop sign. its got brake power but WONT lock up the rear wheel no matter how hard I squeeze the bitch. is this normal function and its just the feeling ill have to get used to?
