Branbb60 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Hello.My front break lever does not work, for some reason the lever does not intake break fluid from the valve inside the reservoir. I have had someone look at it and they said I will most likely need a new one.My CBT is Saturday and I was hoping to get going on Sunday but at this moment in time it appears unlikely without a front break. With it being good Friday, everywhere is closed.Not sure what to do here, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 There are dealers in Coventry and Leamington. Try phoning them and see if they have anything on the shelf. Otherwise it looks like EBay shops and nothing till Wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastanglianbiker Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 the only reason the brake lever would not work is if it is broken i suggest you check the actuating arm in the master cylinder and make sure it isnt stuck in and it could also be air trapped in the brake line somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumor_uk Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 You can't ride your bike to your CBT I think you said in other thread you wanted to ride it ASAP after CBT so just ignore me if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't coming back fast enough and it wasn't sending break fluid down the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
