I recently lost my rear brakes on my 07 vinson. I replaced the pads and realized the the "cylinder" will not move when I apply the brakes. I tried bleading them and this didnt work. What should I do to get the cylinder to move when applying the brakes? Thanks

 

easiest would be to buy a new cylinder assembly, but it won't be cheap.

Rebuilding a cylinder assembly is cheaper, but is not for the inexperienced. You will need to get a factory service manual from Suzuki to try to do it yourself.

 

If your talking about the rear brake caliper, it is extremely easy to re-build. Simply remove your caliper from your rear disk. Remove your brake pads. Pump your rear brakes until the caliper piston comes out of the housing. Remove your two old seals from inside the housing. Put your two new seals back in. Put the cylinder back in. Compress your cylinder all the way down with a C clamp. Put your brakes back on. Put the caliper back on the disk. Now, you may run into the problem I'm having: After I did all this AND bled my rear brakes I still have very little rear brake. Anybody have any suggestions?
