| I already use DOT5 and it still goes soft...
I think it's a general design fault in the way that the rear caliper is mounted in relation to the master cylinder and the run of the hose.
The SS has one really demon sharp rear brake and has never required bleeding, yet it uses the same system components. The difference is that the master cylinder is mounted vertically and not horizontally, and the caliper is mounted above the line of the m/c as it sits above the rear axle and not below.
I know the monsters use this configuration too, and also the 999/749 have gone back to mounting the rear caliper above the rear axle, but retain the horizontal master cylinder - do these suffer the same? If not, I'd be tempted to deduce it's just the location of the caliper. |
