put hand brake on and now both brakes hardly work

well like the title says i put a R6 master with the full throttle adapter on my 08 rr and both brakes are hard but they dont stop the bike like i can let off the gas and pull as hard as i can but it doesnt make enough braking power to stop the bike..also on bikes with the stock clip ons where the hell did yall put your control thing with the lights and blinkers and ****?

fluid on pad is what it sounds like if theres pressure on the lever.
and you can get a drtbike clutch perch, they are narrower, but your going to have to push in the the handle bar grips edge.

Re: put hand brake on and now both brakes hardly work

try this: bleed it again, only this time..squeeze the resevoir hose, if you don't have a clear hose your probly not noticing there is an air bubble between the top master and resevoir. next, bleed the top(about 4 times), then the foot(the same). then the both(together) a couple times; rinse, repeat. typically you gotta run a lot of fluid through it to get all the air out. also, you'll notice, after riding it once or twice it will feel soft again; at this point bleed it top to bottom a couple times more and you should be good. the goal is to be able to lock your rear up with foot or hand, not to stop.
invest in a motion-pro one man brake bleeder and tape it to a pepsi bottle(helps you see how much air is commin out and keeps the fluid off the pads, tire, etc.)
oh, and the left switch has gotta go unless you wanna fab a small switch. you can mount it to the bar with safety wire. only three wires. hold on i gotta pic. hold on....
