yeah i did that on my old bike, i thought it was a flat tire at first. I was half way round a very long loop track and had to hold the bolt in with my heel the rest of the way back.

they look sweet as aye?

Adjust the rod that connects the lever to the master cylinder (make it shorter) then bleed the brakes. Thats what fixed mine. I was the one that started the thread bulldog93 is talking about. Apparently my locknut was loose causing the adjustment to change slowly overtime. When the rod is to...

she's all sorted out now. cheers everyone

ok i took it all apart, cleaned everything thoroughly, put it all back together and re bled with fresh dot 4 fluid and i've got the same problem, not as bad but its still there. I'm out of ideas. How much would it cost for a new master cylinder and caliper roughly?

Righto cheers man. I'll let you know how I go after I get time to do it.

A few months old I spose. What would you reccommend i clean all the parts with? would petrol be ok?

i reckon i'll sort it out. if not i'll just buy a new brake setup

i'm from riverside in launceston. I have a feeling i might have done something like that

i might flush the whole system out and start again, sounds like a good idea thanks. I'd really like to get the thing working properly as I love the rear brake for grass track and stuff.

oh well thanks for the help. I'll have another crack at it tomorrow

when i release the brake pedal the back wheel is very hard to spin. I'm pretty sure I bled them correctly as i've done it before. How much fluid should there be? After it jammed i left it for about 5 minutes and then it was fine again so it must be releasing very slowly.

yeah i can pry them open again but the next time i use the brake they just stick again

Today i took my back wheel off and one of the brake pads fell out. I put it back in but i'm not sure if i did it right. Anyway, now when i press my rear brake it just locks on and will not release, the piston just stays out. I've tried greasing the piston and re-bleeding the brake but it still...

braap is a great shop and they sell some quality gear but the main problem is that they hire to many 14 year old school kids who don't have a clue what they're on about but they work there because its "cool". My advice would be when you're in there talk to the older blokes who have more...

mate these are fully sic! keep up the good work...........wanna do mine :P

i had something similar, turned out to be a blown head gasket. Have you lost a bit of compression?

mine does it sometimes, maybe you should put some cement in your cereal and harden up :p

i'm 94.7% sure that they run a lifan

You might be on the right track. You can buy gasket paper and try cutting that to suit, if you do it neat enough it might just work. I think you can get it at repco or some place like that.
