I'm having an issue with the brakes on my 02 KX125. The lever comes straight to the handle. 6 Fingers & I tried bleeding them, but it only made the issue worse.
So far my best lead has been to replace the brake line, it's probably the original and definitely not braided. Thing is, since our attempt at bleeding managed to make things worse, I wanted to try bleeding again before I started buying parts.
I found this thread that seems helpful http://www.nestreetriders.com/forum/...leed-them.html
My question with that approach, at which stage do I reattach the reservoir? This is a single rotor/caliper setup, so I'd guess after I pushed the pads out and pumped the brake lever. Is this accurate?
Here's what I'm picturing for a single caliper setup
1) remove reservoir cover
2) push pads to fully open caliper
3) squeeze lever until pads grab rotor
4) put cover back on reservoir.
Yay? Nay? Anything else to check? While I'm at it I'm going to check the caliper to be sure it's not leaking, but I don't think it is. I'll also check pad wear, but I can't imagine them being so worn that the lever goes to the bar. If this doesn't work I think my next step is replacing the brake line.
Any input/suggestions/advice appreciated.
Thanks.
