    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

gs750es brake problems

oh and now after adding the new master cylinder theyre not even building up as much pressure as they where getting before!
 
left anti dive, left caliper, right anti dive, right caliper
 
Not new but I pulled em in the begainning and cleaned em and blew compressed air through them...
 
you say you have fitted new brake lines, are they stainless braided lines or stock, and did you replace the lines to the antidives as well?
 
Sounds to me like you have a air bubble trapped at the fitting off the master cyl. Try pop bleeding the master at the line where it connects to the master
 
the brake liners are skinnier universal lines that I bought from bike bandit (not steel braided) and I replaced the lines to the anti dives too. Im not sure what you mean by "pop bleeding" but Ive tried bleeding the master as well by pumping the break then cracking the banjo with the brake lever held in, is that what you mean?
 
If your brake lines are rubber and don't have steel then you can get these line clamps

I think autozone has them as well. Use them to crimp off the fluid flow at different places starting at the MC. The idea is that if you crimp the line between the MC and splitter and the lever is hard then your problem is not the MC. These can be used to isolate left and right calipers as well.

Do not use with SS braided hoses.

Good luck, you are not alone or the first to have very frustrating brake troubles.
 
That's a good idea. I've seen people use the needle-nose style vice grips with thick fuel or heater hose over the jaws for this purpose as well.
