No brake pressure??

[Guest]

I'm in the process of rebuilding my 81 GS750 after an accident. It has been sitting in my garage dissassembled since october. Well now that I've been getting new parts put back on I noticed that I have no brake pressure in my front brakes?

Could this be because the lever and resovior has been hanging upside down for so long, that I've developed a bubble in my lines and they need to be bled out? there is no flid leaked anywhere so I know there isnt a break in the system.

Thanks

yes, being sat for so long. especially if the M/C was upside down they will need bleeding again.
just refit to the bike and bleed them thoroughly as you would. flushing through the old brake fluid

If you still have the original brake hoses on, this would be the perfect time to upgrade to the SS lines.

Thanks for the suggestion, have a link to a good price?

www.paragonperformance.com tell them you are a member here and they give you discount. 4 lines with banjo fittings pressed on for about $110. Custom made when you call and they have different colors available. i really like my red ones

I talked to Jim, call them cuz they don't list all they can do. I talked to him several times because he wanted to get the banjo angle offsets correct. Good people and American made.
