What the shit is wrong with my brakes! I can't get them to work propery. There is a mushy feel at the lever and it WILL NOT go away. It is inconsistant and I can force the lever all the way back to the grip. Not good and I'm not stoked.
I have 99 GSXR 6-piston Tokico's with brand new SS lines and HH pads. I've bled them about 1000 times and even done Liononaleash's handy tip found elsewhere in this Forum (did last night) No dice.
I thought perhaps the rotors / wheel / whoknows could be causing some issue, so last night I removed them from the equation. I put a solid piece of metal between each set of pads and did Liononaleash's trick (again) and still I get mega-mush.
I pulled the calipers off (again) and pumped up the lever to see what happened. Well 3 of the 6 pistons (per caliper) moved, and they weren't even. Am I getting major piston stickage? When I got these calipers I cleaned them and sprayed them out with cleaner a bit. Didn't do a full caliper disassemble however.
The brakes working like this make it basically impossible for me to race the bike effectively. Everytime I enter a corner the feel at the lever is different. Some laps it's not bad, others it's horrendous. Needless to say... I can't brake with any real confidence and as a result ride rather slowly.
Help.
