Loosing brakes

im loosing some the front brake lever, after a couple of quick laps(for me) the lever is almost rite in to the bar . Im using accossato m/c ,braided lines, R1 monoblocks and sbs pads and ate superblue juice .... Any ideas???

Air lock, got any leaks?
I am getting a little pissed with my brakes, can't get a really good lever either.

Mine are rock hard untill they get hot ,,
could it be the braided lines ??its the only thing i havent changed..
Wot about the m/c ???

how old is the fluid

Its new ...


€$¥ l!f€ B0i

Dot 4 or 5?

does the lever firm up at all after use and cooled or after pumping the lever or has it just stay spongy

How much fluid do you have on the pot?

You need to keep an air gap for the diaphragm to flex under hard breaking

Discs, which fuel and pads are you using?

sorry if you know this just putting ideas out there.

It firms up when it cools , sbs street excel ,, brembo discs ... It was like it to start with ... So i changed pads. Fluid, calipers and discs , but not the lines ...
Its better than it was but still goes spongey ....

Sounds like you're cooking the fluid and its okay once cold again.

Which one are you using?

i'm using ate super blue dot4...
was using dot5 but it was the same...could it be the pads.... ive put new pads on but there the same sbs???

when i say the pads, i meen would they be suckin up the heat,,ive got some competition pads but not tryed em yet???

I wouldnt have said its the pads mate(not that ive tried em) but they get get good reviews from some quick fellas.new pads n lines not break the bank expensive before you start looking at the MC

RAVER

Try using motul rbf 600 brake fluid..........it's got a higher boiling temp.

I'd get braided lines too but would that really cause lever travel?

No signs of leaks from the m/c, right?

No mc is fine , gonna try the new pads and see how they go,,,

After pondering over this for a few minutes................I'd say it's your pads
