#112818 Isriam (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 132 Front MC catching 2 Months, 3 Weeks 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 16776 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3094 Re:Front MC catching 2 Months, 3 Weeks 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: 4315 Re:Front MC catching 2 Months, 3 Weeks 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: 132 Re:Front MC catching 2 Months, 3 Weeks 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 2 Months, 3 Weeks 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: 132 Re:Front MC catching 2 Months, 3 Weeks 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.
