I have two front rotors 290mm with vt twin pot calipers and also 1 inch bore pbr master cylinder brand new. Now the brakes all bolted up fine and fit well but they wont keep a firm pedal. I have bleed the front discs and rear drums three times each time that they are bleed i pump the brake and it feels fine but when i fire it up the frigen thing goes soft again???? any help guys would be awesome!!! |
unfortunately..there are those out there who flog VT front upgrades
and forget that the VT setup is completely different to early birds.
VT brake systems use a fast fill valving system in the master cylinder
to allow the twin piston caliper to work properly.
Even using a large or HDT style 1"master cylinder means you get a soggy pedal
all the time as the pedal has to move further (despite the large master cyl)
to fill the twin piston caliper. you get long pedal travel..or a soggy pedal
solution..buy a VT master/booster modded for early birds
lots sell ém to fix up those who got burnt....
have a look -
