#112818 Isriam (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 137 Front MC catching 3 Months, 1 Week ago   My front brake level seems to catch when I pull it in. It goes easy until pressure starts, then it wants to slip, grab, slip, grab while I pull it in. Makes for a very jerky stop. I WD40'd all around the lever, but I'm wondering if it could be something inside the piston of the MC?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #112821 javawave (User) Over 16781 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3214 Re:Front MC catching 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Have you bled the front brake to make sure you dont have any air in the system?   Logged     \" A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #112824 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4404 Re:Front MC catching 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Is the rotor warped? that will cause a jitter in the brakes..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #112852 Isriam (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 137 Re:Front MC catching 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I'll check both of these. The actual pads/rotor seem to be fine, it just feels like the piston in the MC is catching when I pull on the lever. Its probably due for pads/fluid change anyway.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #112971 deeker1973 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 181 Re:Front MC catching 3 Months, 1 Week ago   mine was doing the exact same thing, bled the brakes and 100% better.   Logged     Sig Pic Deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb 2000 Roadstar Millenium Edition Lowered, chrome swingarm, side mount plate, Barons vintage fenders, Looney seat, Big Johnson Bars, BAK, V&H Longshots, Ported Manifold, White Walls, Looney tank extension, Dyna 3000, Custom flame in flame paint, and more...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #113339 Isriam (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 137 Re:Front MC catching 3 Months, 1 Week ago   thank you, bled the brakes and it fixed it. still catches some but i think its just the lever and may need some WD40. brakes are smooth as silk now.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
