just wondering if this **** has ever happened to anyone else... went out last night clutched up 2nd gear about 15 mph, just like any other night....well except this time when i went to take the turn onto the on ramp to the highway, i brought the bike back and in a split second my brake gave out...pedal went all the way down, it came back on the bar and i lost it, so now i'm layed up on the couch with a hole the size of a quarter in my elbow right to the bone, some of my tats are garbage now...i think my master cylinder gave out, this was no brake fade either, that **** just wasn't there.

can't say that its happend to me bro.. but sorry to hear heal up playa

dan gates

i've had my rear brake lever snap but i wasn't high enough tp go back,

that **** sucks man. no jacket?

MIKE_SR

no, but from now on i'll be wearing one, too much money in tat's to just have them scraped away...

yzfrone

yep here i had a buddy of mine that crashed from the same ****.

does the heat up of the calipers cause it to fail? scary if you think about it.

NegligenceRyda

Happend to me also , started in 1rst , going back to scrape the bar about 15 mph and the brake lever snaped , went off the left side of the bike , shoulder and head first , my gear saved my ***

NegligenceRyda

ive also lost a caliper from something like that , , it was either the heat from trying to 12 or droppin stoppies to hard

inolen

Replace the stock fluid and bleed the brakes. GSXR's are notorius for brake fade.

Usually the master cylinder that you learn slow *****'s on is gonna go out cuz, when u first learn the rear brake u ride the sh*t out of it, and boil the fluid, piston cup, and seal. It happened to me once. I always test em before I clutch it up or on the way up now. You need a master cylinder rebuild kit, its easy to install...

MIKE_SR

yeah, well i have one and a half stars now....

MIKE_SR

i run double H pads and steel braided line, but this was no fade, it was my first wheelie of the night, it took a good hit on the master cylinder when i was at lakeland..broke the peg and all that good stuff...it's the only thing i can figure?

Suicidl

sucks mike. get back on it and get down to orlando and ride with us :YEAH

Nj_Stunta_

that is the worst feeling in the world when your brake is not there, i crunched my tail off three times this summer cause of brake failier

Michael D Rickman

another thing to think about is throwing it into a coaster and the clutch cable breaks

dan gates

ohh just thinkin about it makes my tank dent and my chest hurt

MIKE_SR

as soon as i get rid of these crutches, i'm there .......i'm gonna swing out there thurs. night in my truck and see what's crackin'

GsxrMike

Now thats some sh*t to think about...

MIKE_SR

well the only thing good about that would be that it would most always come back down when the clutch pops. but then you'd probably go over the front, and that sh*t hurts too
