Motorcycle Repair: brakes suzuki intruder 1500 1998, suzuki intruder 1500, brake rotor


Question
rear brakes were a little soft. checked fluid level, it was low. added dot4 fluid. now no rear brakes. have bled brakes, seems to be a lot of air in system. changed brake pads, when they were out i pumped brakes and calipers moved, just no pressure when pads are on. any ideas?  

Answer
Hi James,

Is there evidence of any brake fluid leaking or fluid seepage? Is the rear brake rotor oily? Were the old brake pads contaminated?

Are you following the service manual's procedures for brake bleeding?

Do you have an email address for me to return tech files to?

Respectfully,
