Hi All, so this year I decided to service the brakes all the way around. It's been 4 years I believe, and I felt like the lever was going in further than it should to stop me. Anyhow, I bought all new EBC HH brake pads, Motul 660 fluid, and away we went. So after I put on the new pads (which I didnt need to change), I went to flush and bleed the fluid (which I didn't need to do either). My lever goes all the way back to the grip, and I get very little resistance, and while fluid is moving through the bleeder while pumping, I am seeing no air.
Ok, so it's a 15 year old motorcycle, so I bought the master cylinder rebuild kit. Got that in and did the rebuild. The bore looks great, and all the pieces were in good condition I would say. Overall, I felt like it didnt appear necessary, but I was running out of ideas.
I watched a pair of videos regarding the master cylinder rebuild, and its all straight forward. The guy in the video was rebuilding an MC that was caked in gunk, clearly had been leaking, and REALLY needed service. At this time, I have no leaks, no drips, no problems that I can identify. I have stainless lines that are in good condition, and I really would like to ride the connie, but brakes are kind of important. I've done this service before several times, so I just cannot figure that it's something I am doing wrong.
