hand brake question

i know another one right.

i have a 929 master cylinder mounted right now for my front brake, granted i have a 929 front end on my f4i. now i have a brembo master for my handbrake that is spongy as hell. should i switch the 929 to my handbrake and use my spare f4i master for my front brake? any opinion or ideas.also if possible im looking for a zx 7 master if anyone has one for my handbrake.

thanks in advance.

Re: hand brake question

i had a 929 master cylinder for a handbrake worked really well , but what mm. is your brembo ? that should work better depending on the mm . so far with all the hand brakes i have had the 2005 gsxr 1000/600/750 (radial mount) master cylinder has worked the best (note i have the full throtle systemm to go along with it ), but thing works perfect with one finger lock up!

Re: hand brake question

sounds like you need to bleed it more, I had to bleed mine w/ a speed bleeder for like 15 mins. I got a gsxr master cyl. and it works good.

i have the full throttle set up with the brembo master if i remember correctly, i want something that is more responsive with one finger than three.

I'm wondering the same thing for a long time now...

My Honda dealer bleeded my handbrake with the bleeder pump, and said you didn't need to crack the banjo's... But I doubtet that, cause Bill from Fullthrottleinc told me I should...

I also wouldn't know which banjo's to crack ? All of them ? only the one on the front master ? Or only the rear master ?

And what's the best way to do it ? Hold the handbrake tight, and then crack it, and only let go of the brake when the banjo is tightened again ?

Plz someone tell me how to do this
