Hi guys,
Back again! My K100RS has a K1100 4 pot caliper conversion (done by a previous owner). Since taking ownership the master cylinder has always leaked so I have replaced it. The brake components had been taken to pieces/calipers stripped of paint/repainted and cleaned.
Since refitting everything I am having trouble bleeding the brakes and getting a 'hard feeling' on the front brake. I'm using a mityvac brake bleeder which is getting all the air out but still a spongy feel at the lever.
Is the combination of these non standard calipers a good idea? The brake pads are new by the way! New fluid too!
Any ideas???
Thanks Kim
