I want to run this by you guys for some help.
On My 2000 RC51, the brake lever was nice and firm, but the fluid was horrible. On top of that I needed to put new pads on it too. I cleaned the calliper pistons, but didn’t remove them. Pushed them back in after cleaning and installed new pads. I bled the brakes like I have many many times, never let the fluid get too low, used pressure bleed method, but the lever feels very spongy and it now also creaks and makes a noise at the master cylinder, almost like the Bell ray Super DOT4 fluid doesnt lubricate enough.
I can get it to firm up if I pump it a few times, but it goes soft again after a while.
Ive re bled 3x
No bubbles at all
Im wondering if I have shit binding the calliper pistons and they are sticking ?
Ive tied the lever back over night and its firm after I do that but goes soft again after a short while
Thoughts?
