brake pad selections
#20
As the front brake pads get towards the end of their service life, the brake lever tends to become a little more spongy.This is caused by the brake fluid taking up the wear in the pads (caliper pistons moving outwards). Although the theory is "fluid cannot be compressed",it unfortunately does compress slightly.Maybe your front brake pads are worn Volvi ? There is a third setup available for the brake lines; Suzuki use this setup on the GSX1400.One line from the master cylinder goes down to a junction or junction block located on the lower triple clamp. From there it splits into two lines.One line feeds into the left caliper and the other line feeds into the right caliper.Hel brake lines can custom make this brake line setup. I have been using this setup for several years now, and although I have changed my front brake calipers to brembo ones recently,I had a very firm front brake lever prior with the standard tokico calipers.I'm still running the standard front brake master cylinder.I hope this helps you a bit Volvi.
