dwb5151 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hi i am having a lot of bother with my rear brake. When i press down on the brake lever when riding either it works or it doesnt. When going down a steep slope when i press onto the rear brake lever and hold it some times it will work some times it wont. I just got the bike serviced by my dealer about less than a month ago. When the brake doesn't work the break lever seems like the brake pads arent grabing the brake disc, I have had new brake pads and its been filled with the dot 4 oil. After getting it serviced i noticed it done this some times but after going out today for a ride the brake was doing it constantly. Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stroke4stroke Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 There is only one piece of advice that most will give - get straight back to the dealer as it seems this came about after the service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the bike of the dealer a year ago and i told him about the brake when servicing it he adjusted the brake and the whole bike was serviced as well. This was all done on the 11 july 2016. Then when i got the bike back it did it a few times once or twice now the brake isnt working at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 It needs a M/C rebuild kit. The seal is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
