FZS600 Fazer / rear brake - how much lever play before it bites?
« on: 26 April 2019, 08:48:28 pm »
Hi
I'm still only a few hundred miles into my new (2002) fazer. It's a really clean (looks brand new) machine and has been very well looked after. I'm totally new to the breed so this might be a naive question but...........
When in general traffic the rear brake is perfectly fine (ish) but I do feel that my foot has lots of travel before I feel a bite on the disc. If travelling at say 60mph + and need some extra assistance when braking I feel the extra long travel together with the 'woolly' feel is a little uninspiring.
I've read a few threads........ but would like some opinions as to next steps.......
A Bleed system
B replace pads (not looked at wear yet)
C replace with a blue spot rear
D any combination of the above
let me know your thoughts
