Re: ABS Brake Feel? YOU FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys always amaze me with your experiance!! My brake lever was so soft. Had it to the dealer for a computerized bleeding, and it was still soft.

Last night I tried your compressed lever over night fix, Just cut the tie wrap Oh my god the lever doesnt move but a 1/8 of and inch and its rock hard! I can't belive it.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now it's time to tweak the rear pedal. More I play with it I notice it's got just a smidge of softness on the first push. Gotta go find some longer, stouter zip ties :20:

Have to stand the bike up on end on the rear tire for this to work with the rear brake.

If I understand this correctly, no need to remove the resevoir cover? Just tie bake front brake lever overnight and the air can escape through a equalizer? I want to try this, even though I have no issue witht he feeling of the brake, but maybe I can improve it.
