Guest Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Okay, so are these fairly easy to replace/rebuild?? Mine blew up yesterday at the end of a 300 mile loop, with a lot of hard riding/braking. There was brake fluid all over everything I pulled it off the bike and looked at it like the idiot that I am. I don't want to de-link, I like the LBS and would like to fix this if possible. Help Pleeeeease. BTW, I didn't go down, it happened while slowing for a red light, the brakes stopped working, but I was able to slow in 1st gear to a nice stop. Someone was watching out for me.

birdie_xx Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 It looks like you'd need a new one.... http://www.ronayers.com/fiche/200_0351/pro...ntrol_valve.cfm Someone who delinked may have a spare one.... good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 :shock: :shock: :shock: Brakes stopped working??? I'd be on the phone to Honda not only for a free replacement of the valve, but a free package of fresh underwear too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Wow :!: :shock: Glad you got stopped safely. That has to be the first REAL failure on our bikes. You sure a line didn't loosen? Make sure you get ALL the fluid off your bike, will do a lot of damage. If it's bad, a new one is the only way. Don't think it can be rebuilt.

Redbird Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Just saw this, mine is sitting somewhere in the garage, had about 10K on it when removed. It's your's for the cost of shipping if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Thanks guys, Joe has hooked me up with a replacement. Now I am sitting at the front door eagerly awaiting the delivery :grin: Bird is in pieces, all ready for the new valve. I got most of the fluid off in time, only etched a couple small places, that only I will notice. The fairings cover it all up anyway. Maybe a new bike is what I need :twisted: The more I think about it, and the more I tell people about it, the more I realize just how lucky my ass was. Sometimes I don't get it :?: I wear a bullet-resistant vest and carry a gunbelt for a living. I ride like an idiot on my dirtbike and have crashed several times already. I ride *a wee fast* on the bird. I will probably die falling off a ladder while changing a lightbulb or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
