Front Brake Help Needed Please
« on: September 21, 2017, 03:53:58 am »
I've got a front brake problem 2014 Enduro model just over 5,000klm

Bike sits for say 7 days when i go use the bike at first seems all good until get down street about 2km ride to doctors & notice front brake dragging , when was riding seemed ok & when i pushed bike out shed was fine .

parked the bike go do what need to do get back to bike go move it front brake almost locked on , so flick the shorty adj lever stuff around with the adjusters etc gets little better , so ride home slowly by time i'm home the front brake fully released WTF

1 to 2 weeks ago was riding bike often never had the brake do this ?

approx 3 months back i had this same problem after bike sat for 4 days


previous to this problem i've fitted a new HEL front brake line all good unblocked & shorty adj leavers then i pressure forced bleed the MC & bleed the brake Caliper , back when had this all fitted approx 3 mths ago about 200klm ago.

think i read there no rebuild kits that i'm aware of for the later 690's ? - also i'm not loosing fluid / weeping so cant see it being MC seals

is there a better MC out there (if it's the MC) others used nissin etc ? suit for off road enduro not motard/road use.

Your post is a bit old maybe you already cured the problem.  This does appear to be a strange symptom.  Ordinarily these OEM components work fine for years and years.  If I remember correctly the 2014 has ABS.  I have a 2013 so my response may not apply.  Were this mine I would check to make sure the lever pivot is smooth.  I would also make sure the brake lever is the OEM if you are the second owner.  If you changed it put OEM back on. Next re-bleed to clean out the system- line, master, and caliper of all fluid using lots of synthetic brake fluid.  Leave the level in the master in the center of the sight glass.

You certainly can not be read in any language.
