Re: All you dual caliper-ers

am i the only one that has a tough time with SS circles and ss coasters? For some reason, i cant get it through my damn skull and always get confused on the clutch/brake and end up squeezing the wrong one.

Re: All you dual caliper-ers

Yeah... this year, ive only been to the lot one time, and the winter break, helped me with y regular staggered circles. I can slip the clutch like crazy now for that, and dont have a problem.

But, at least my lack of skill, makes for some funny crashes. haha.

Re: All you dual caliper-ers

ya i had the same problem until i realized my rear rotor was soaked in brake fluid. Check to see u wiped off any excess brake fluid off you rotor....its always simple **** like that people overlook.

Re: All you dual caliper-ers

nah its not that. Ive ran into problems after problems. First the lever was kicking out and hitting the triple. Then i learned the hardway you cant bleed a caliper when its upside-wrong....Then brand new crush washers were leaking. Now i think i have a faulty bleeder screw in the f4i caliper (and yet it worked fine when it was on the f4i front end). fixed all that and now, and the lever is zip tied for the night. We'll see tomorrow i guess.

depends on your type of riding but i would say yes! the more leverage you have the easier your hb is to operate
