The brakes on my zxr were quite poor. when I came to stripping the brakes down I was quite shocked how corroded the pistons were in the calipers so I rebuilt the complete system with new seals and master cylinder kit some venhill braided brake lines new pads and some fresh brake fluid. Cleaned up the brake discs with disc cleaner this sorted my brakes out cost a bit to do but was well worth the time and envestment.

How many miles sibce you done this? Pads will need a few hundred miles to bed in properly.

Are you sre the you have bled them properly?

wemoto, b&c,ebay,m&p for brakes

likewise for rotors if yours are really bad.

when my rotors get a bit of surface rust go for a ride...all the braking will clean them up nice, i sometimes give them a quick rub with 80-grit emery cloth, if your brakes are binding thats an MOT fail, new pads might not cut it, you might need to do a full dissassembley and replace the seals.

warning, the rear brake can be a fucking nightmare!

Costly to get the rear brake fixed?

[beatboxben]

Don't remember posting this... but now made a new post!

Basically my brakes are binding and have gone really bad, need to get the rear rebuilt!
