Glad to see that one person has made use of this.

Little update to this walk through..... The signal flasher I used here may not work if you have changed to LED's front and rear. There may not be enough of a draw to close the contacts in the flasher. I'm going to try a solid state flasher ( 3 terminal ) and advise on the outcome.... Sorry 'bout...

After tie wrapping the brakes on....front and rear, over night I thought that I would report back.... The levers are MUCH firmer this morning than they were after bleeding them last night. Even though I bled the air out at the calipers until no more air came out, actually, with the help of a...

There is one other thing that was suggested that I try and I would like to pass it along to the members as well..... Tie wrap the lever so that the brakes are being applied. Leave it on over night so that any SMALL amount of air that might be trapped in a curve or little nook, can escape out...

The seals were deffinately square cut... NO taper on them at all !!! The taper area is machined into the caliper bore wall which helps the piston to "pull back" away from the pad and relieve pressure on the rotor when you release the brakes.

The ONLY reason we can come up with for this solution is one or the other reasons or a combination of both that I will explain now.... The new fluid I bought might have been old stock that was sitting on the shelf for a while... not getting rotated properly, and the seal on the container may...

Well....here it is for anyone who is reading this post. Brakes are FIXED!!! Went to a friend (yes I'll call him that...) to ask advise. He's been racing bikes for years. Even he tried bleeding just in case I missed some air! Nope... not air. SO we decided to remove ALL of the fluid I had put...

I haven't rode my BUSA with the half helmet yet, I'm still haveing brake issues at the moment anyways and can't ride it, I was considering giving it a go. Besides it's a Carbon Fiber one so it looks kind cool.... At least I think so! LOL....

Hey AZ..... Seeing as NO ONE wants to admit that they "like" to ride with a half helmet, I'll chime in and agree with you!! I'm man enough to admit it! .... lol... I rode last spring in Florida with out a helmet, though NOT something I would do every day, even if I could living here in Ontario...

Unfortunately I haven't gotten this sorted out. I'm gong to seek some help from a friend who races bikes tonight. He's a little baffled by my description of the problem as well.. I will post what I find out.... Which hopefull will also fix my problem as I'm going through withdrawl.... NO busa...

Hey Rev..... I have alot of LED's in the works as well. I've just finished installing 5 UV led's in my headlight and 3 under the nose filler panel pointing down at the front fender. I've got some pics of how they look but because the LED's are true ultravoilet they show up in a pic as blue...

So now I come here... to see if ANYONE may have tried to rebuild these before. The seals came from Suzuki, and were identical to the ones I removed. The originals had NO destinguishable taper to them either. When I soaked two of the seals for 15 or so minutes in brake cleaner the swelled up to...

I really hope someone might be able to shed a little light on this little situation... Here's the problem. I started to get a pulsation from both front and rear rotors last year while riding in Florida last March on vacation. When I got back home, the dealer, of course, informed me that it was...

Making up LED's to go in the mirrors to replace the front signals... will post pics soon.

No I wasn't just doing exhaust.... Had to replace fork seals, tires, rotors, rebuild the calipers..... and thought I might as well do the exhaust while I was at it! Might as well rip it ALL apart and do it all at the same time!
