Guest rockmeupto125 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Well that helps :icon_wall: Look...if you overuse brakes, they fade. When they cool, they work again. I just can't imagine why you would do what you say you did. Did you take your front rotors off, or did something happen to your front brakes?

Looks like you have air in the system. Bleed the rears and it should be fine. Follow the instructions for bleeding the linked brakes, funnily enough you start with the middle nipples of the front calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBBXX Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Look...if you overuse brakes, they fade. When they cool, they work again. Not much more we can tell you. This is a fact of life. Want them to perform better, then put a new set on. the thicker the pad, the more heat they will dissipate. marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one elese have this problem ? Was this some dianetic Keith Code exercise you were doing? What everyone else said except getting rid of the rear brake. Many a flame war has been started over that and I'll only say that there is no doubt most of your breaking power comes from the front if you know how to use the rear it is also essential for on the edge riding and racing. Once you boil brake fluid it gets full of air so it's useless until it cools and the air bubbles clear. May need to move up a DOT if you are planning on making this a habit. Depending on what dot you are at right now you may have to change lines or make sure you dont mix DOTs. I think someone used the term fade which is what happened got Brake Fade. Ricky Bobby has that all the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
