Hi all, i just changed my stock lines over to HEL braided lines (2 lines straight from MC to each calliper. Bled them all out. Done correctly and severl times at each bleed nipple at MC and at each calliper. Repeated this process several time and never let resevouir run dry. Went out for ride. great break pressure in lever. Then when i wound it up to about 160 kilometers i suddenly lost quite a bit of pressure in the front brake lever. I didn't come right back to the throttle but scared the hell out of me. I adjusted the lever back out and then it seemed fine again. More slow riding up to about 80kph...all good. Then again wound it up to a high speed and same thing happened. I went home last night and bled the brakes again but i am pretty sure there was only fluid and no air. Checked thoroughyl for leaking fluid...can;t see any anywhere? Any suggestion? Anyone ever experienced this? Thanks

Take it back to the dealership. There is nothing to be tightened. The seals need to be replaced and TC Ridley can do it.

you're in for a fun night. You need to start pumping new fluid in. Fill up the reservoir then pump the lever a couple of times to get fluid to start to flow into there. Then... you'll have to bleed them. Pump pump pump, squeeze, open nipple, close nipple, release, pump pump pump, squeeze, open nipple, close nipple, release. Do not let the reservoir empty out. Keep doing this until you get clean brake fluid through the lines and no bubbles. It's going to take a lot of worth though.

but it sounds like fuel starvation. change fuel filter and run some fuel system cleaner in the gas tank. get additive not spray

if they are drum brakes you may need to adjust the starwheels between the brake shoes. just like old car brakes

I had an XJ 1100 and had the same problem. after paying someone else two diferent times I found an article talking about the very problem, (wish I could tell you where it is but) what it said was this system was prone to moisture getting in the rear master cylinder. I took the cylider apart and carfully cleaned all the brown residue out of all the small areas and orfices. then with a large suction/pressure pump bought at NAPA I forced good quality dot 4 fluid through the lines untill all the fluid came out clear (better buy 2 quarts this may take several flushings. then disasemble and clean the wheel cylinder as carefully as you did the master cylinder. This solved the problem on my 82 XJ 1100, the article said the trick was that if you live in a climate where weather chages with the seasons changing the fluid each riding season should prevent this from clogging again. Hope this helps, mine worked great afterwords.
