Im trying to bleed the brakes on my scrambler 500 and i'm finding it very difficult. It seems as though no matter how much time i spend bleeding them, they still are weak. Also, when the brakes do work, the left front wheel will stop but the right front wheel recieves no braking power. What should i do, any help wpuld be greatly appreciated.

 

Sounds like you caliper on the right side might have dirt or some other debris in it causing it to stick.. My rear brake don't work to good either... Try cleaning your calipers and bleeding the entire brake system..

 

You may also have dirt in your brake lines, i would change all the brake fluid as well...


Also are you sure your bleeding them the right way?

 

You might also want to check the adjuster screw on your front calipers. Turn the adjuster screw until the pad contacts the disk, then back off 1/2 turn.

 

Your brake pads might be worn too check those out.....

 

how are you bleeding them the rear first don't recall which bleeder on rear is hand or foot 2nd right front last left front make sure that when you crack the bleeder its all fluid no air
