Rear Brake Issue

[alanfavell]

Cheers to everyone for your contributions -

 

UPDATE

This morning -

Released master cylinder banjo  - plenty of fluid movement  :good: & retightened same.

Released caliper banjo = some slow fluid movement with too much resistance on the pedal. Retightened banjo and applied considerable pressure to pedal and then released the pressure on the pedal  = rear wheel locked.

Tried to back flush  with large syringe from bleed nipple to released master cylinder banjo =  not happening.

 

So it looks like either  deteriorated hoses  and or an object blocking return route (as mentioned by members).

I have ordered the ABS test tool from Fowlers (I've always had great (not cheap), service from them - in today's post too), for the princely sum of £12.45 inc.postage & VAT. This tool will allow me to completely isolate the caliper hose and back flush it (and bleed the entire system if new hoses are required). It will of course be available for loan to members with ABS models once I'm done.

 

Got to get it done because I'm away camping with the bike in early November..

 

More to follow......
