Rear brake pedal pivot bolt bad - 500 miles!
By: truck11 Date: June 6, 2014, 2:23 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Rear brake pedal/master cylinder is messed up. Apparently the
pivot bolt is bad and bent the rode going into the master
cylinder. I have to depress the pedal about 5+ inches to engage
the rear brakes and the pedal is very sloppy (side to side).
Dealer is taking care of it under warranty, which is nice....
but pain in the A$$ (i might as well censor it myself)
What I could use your help is with a picture, or other knowledge
of the pivot bolt and MS. Does it have a rubber bushing type
thing? Does your pedal 'wiggle' side to side?
The brake fluid is very very dark - dealer said it only happens
if it 'boils' well - it happened and not due to hard braking
by me. They are replacing the seals and boot to the MS - so
they would probably have to flush the brake fluid also (I would
hope)
Just turned 500 miles on it today on the way to the dealership.
OH...... and I need a valve adjustment already - ticking away!
>:( really? 500 miles? argh!

How are the FA209/2 organic pads holding up? How do they
compare to the OEM pads?

Funny how riding style affects brake life.. My OEM 2014 front
brakes have near 17k miles on the & probably only half worn. I
did replace the rear OEM brakes at about 10k miles.

The FA209/2 pads are solid. Good braking power no matter the
condition. Worth the $35 I paid for them. Next time I spot a
good deal for them or the rear 208's I'll snag them off of eBay.
:P

Been using ebc on all my bike and they always outlast and
outperform oem.
