Hydraulic Brake Tech

What to do if your Hydro doesn't lock the rear tires:

 

  • Make sure you have fresh rotors, if using used rotors get them turned

  • Verify that the pads are sitting flush

  • Verify that the caliper brackets are flush and true

  • Verify that the pad can slide freely on the caliper brackets

  • Make sure the system is properly bled (Vacuum bleeding may help)

  • Make sure the pads and rotors are broken in

  • Double Pumping may be necessary

  • A 2lb residual valve can help

  • Performance pads, and dual piston calipers work best!

  • Changing the hydro location has fixed the issue for some members!
