Soft pedal

Prostreet1 Posted 2012-05-17 10:53 PM (#114516) Subject: Soft pedal Cruiser Posts: 184 Allen Park, MI After having the bike stored for the last year (job) I took the bike out and noticed the rear brake pedal is soft or squishy if you would...has anyone encountered this? ....and if so how did you cure it? Will a simple bleed help this....seems kinda odd that this would happen after just sitting. I think I may have read of this somewhere but couldn't locate a post. Thanks for your help.

Air in the fluid so hopefully a simple bleed will cure it.

It is linked to the rear system. Dain a99miata Posted 2012-05-18 1:21 PM (#114559 - in reply to #114516) Subject: Re: Soft pedal Tourer Posts: 423 northwest florida what Dain said...

NOT NOT the top bleeder. Do both sides of the front caliper. After you do that check your break fluid level.
