Front Brake Problem

[Bumblebee]

@Hayabusa Wannabe
yes, I'm still alive and I'm not that nun ;-)
i only use words
and
I just have serious private problems that aren't suitable for the public - so don´t ask

my solution:
completely dismantle the brake calliper/calipers
carefully remove the seals
deep clean the grooves in the callipers until they shine and no longer show any dirt
clean the old seals
if they have a kind of orange peel skin effect (especially on the outside of the ring) - it doesn't matter at all - they can easily be used again

that's how I've been doing it with complete success since I started cleaning the callipers

put everything back together

BUT only and exclusively use ATE brake paste (or 100% equivalent) or DOT4/5.1 - NOTHING else

oh yeah, I almost forgot - the pistons should also be "polished" - at their outside - until they show absolutely no dirt

and for the gen1 callipers:
repeat the deep cleaning every 30-35,000 km

and it fits with the first braking (after the cleaning) - the brake suddenly works very well again

There's definitely been a lack of proper brake lectures around here since he stopped posting......

Now with his return, some of these brake systems will get sorted out.
