Rear Disc Brake tightening up when driving my HiBird.

TheRealWorld · 05-01-2010, 09:26 PM

I have a Hi Bird 200 that is giving me that rear brake lock up situation like others have had. I know that there is a fix listed in the archives, but I don't know how to find it. I am up to 2000 miles and it was never a problem, but now it tightens up. I have solved the problem on the road by bleeding off the fluid.

We will have to try and find it back. That link was posted on the old forum software.

adjust the part that connects the brake to the master cylinder it is being depressed while the pedal is not being pushed blocking the bleed back port, the master cylinder needs to be allowed to fully extend, if this makes the brakes too soft they need to be bled. Also changing to dot 4 fluid will help everything in general.
