Im convinced the air is out, or at least isnt the problem
Its had squidgy lever since i brought it with 2k miles on it 4-5 years ago. its allways gone back to the bar although would pull up with max breaks long before it reached the bar.
in that time its had braided hoses fitted, fluid changed at least 4 times and been bleed at least 3x as much as the fluids been replaced. all to no or little effect
its now also got affter market levers but dose the same with the OE i have.
as i say its allways done it to one degree or another, but now (most prob because i have just been touching them so am thinking about them) feels slightly worse than its allways done.
i was going to go the whole hog and replace all caliper seals and dust seals and a master cylinder repair kit just to kill or cure it. but the 5 kits OE (1 master cylinder and 2 caliper kits diff sizes per side) come in at £155 inc vat.
So if the caliper seals aint leaking and look "ok" is it worth replacing them, would it make a diff to the feel of the brakes? im thinking no at this point but im hardly a guru
Would replacing the master cylinder repair kit make a diff? this is harder to tell as if this was at fault i doubt i would "see" and leaking but would meen its been at fault since 2k miles.... i find it unlikely but possable.
I know air can cause the lever the feel i describe and come back to the bar, but it can not be air in the system every time as its had so many bleeds by diff mechanincs and friends over the years, including pipe replacements and full removal a couple of times.its been preasure bleed and many other ways over the years i cant see its air causing it. yet every time i take it anywhere or ask advice all i get is "its air" they fuck with it for a day and hand it back saying thats as good as it gets. and charge me a packet for the pleasure of chaning nothing.
if every time it gives the same feel i cant see how its possable air is traped in the same way each time.
its just my luck fowlups dosent have a master kit in stock so what ever happens its unlikely i can get it sorted for the wed track day
