Big Tom Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Can anyone help? I have a FZS 600 Fazer and the problem is that the rear brake pedal depresses very easy but seems to be little or no pressure. The brake works but only after max pressure with the foot. If I leave a weight on the pedal and put a bag over the reservoir (with lid off) will this work? Your expectingly Big Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve m Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Nope !!!!!!!!!!! The system needs a change of fluid and then bleeding,,,also check the condition of the brake pipe,if this is the original rubber item, then it may be time to change to a stainless braided line. If this doesnt work then you will need to overall the complete system, with new seals in both the master cly and caliper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianfzs600 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 i have this same problem with my fzs600 caliper is seized and there is no preasure at all when pedal is pushed, so change the fluid and bleed first then replace the seal on caliper and cylinder, is this an easy job to do, and where is the best place to purchase the seals from? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
