Over the winter I tore down my 660 to fix some things and add some new parts I collected over a couple months. I finally get it back together a couple of weeks ago to find that I have no rear brakes. They worked fine when I tore the bike down and while I was putting everything back together I rebuilt the caliper – new rubber boots, slider pins and piston seals + pads.
When I bleed the brakes it will push fluid (not allot of pressure) out of the bleeder but there is no clamping power on the disc.
To give you an idea of what I have done to try and solve this problem…
First I took everything apart, blew it out with air and made sure there was nothing blocking any fluid. I picked up another full brake system and changed out each part trying to get pedal after each part. First the master cylinder, then the line, then the caliper, then the reservoir – still the same problem. I then took another spare caliper I had and rebuilt it, same results.
I don’t get it and it is killing me, I am dying to ride this thing. There has to be something stupid I am missing – Any ideas?
