Spongy Brakes

RE: Spongy Brakes
Thanks for posting this tip. I hadn't heard of it before, sounds pretty good. I replaced the old brake lines on my FZR a few months back with new Spiegler SS/Teflon lines, put in Motul RF600 DOT4 fluid and new HH+ pads. Did this for both front and rear. HUGE difference.
Definitely worth all the work, but remember, if you're going to do this, be sure to take your calipers apart all the way and clean them up really good and also get all the gunk off the pistons with "000" steel wool. Make sure you get new seals also, they're usually not cheap but if you're going to do it, and spend all the money on SS lines and HH+ pads, spend the money and time to do it right.
The outside of my calipers might be slightly dirty, but the insides look brand new. [sm=signs007.gif]
