hey guys just got a f2 last week. the front brake isnt working. front lines were pinched so i replaced them. bled the lined till all the air was gone. still no lever feel nor any clamping of the brakes. is the master cylinder bad or is it something else? thanks J

 

Could be a bad master, there are kits available from Honda to rebuild your master and it's quite simple and not very expensive.

You might want to give your chain some attention too, eek!

 

thanks hershey i was hoping it wasnt the master. dont have a ton of cash for parts right now, and i am very eager to get it on the road. where are some good places to get parts?? ya i kno i need to replace the chain. the bike needs some love not to worried about looks. jus the mechanical, its my first bike it just needs to run good. thanks

 

Call your local Honda dealership and ask how much they want for a Master cylinder rebuild kit for your bike, it might be something like $40-$80 - I doubt much more than that.

 

wow didnt expect a response so quickly. thanks you say its fairly easy what exactly is involved?

 

That is hershey for ya, he is like the king **** and on it like white on rice. lol.

I like the color! NICE!

 

no im grateful for the help. there is no corrosion or leaking around the plunger or cylinder so im goin to bleed it some more and bleed the top at the banjo bolt which i didnt even kno i needed to do

 

thanks for the responses guys brakes are working now. later
